Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Useche explained to a Colombian newspaper that the title Vana Espuma comes from an expression used in the 1619 play Fuenteovejuna that he found echoed in the Spanish translation of Freud's book On Dreams. In the introduction, Freud talks about other scientists who discouraged his work on this subject saying that dreams are "Schaum" (froth) a word which translated into Spanish as vana espuma (Idle Mist). more

College freshmen could do better, 23 November 2008
4/10
Author: d-tsapkou from Lithuania

I have been looking for this short film for about a year and I cant believe this is it. For some very odd reason, Vena Espuma appears in the similar section along with The Matrix, Minority Report and other futuristic/distopic movies. So, obviously, I came with some expectations. And it turned out to be the worst piece of cinematography I've seen in quite a while. The acting is just terrible, the dialogues are empty, and the music is burdensome.

There's only one neat - but not fresh - idea in the film, and it's unfortunately in the very end. Here am I, saving your time: "what if all of us and all the world as we know it is just someone's dream?". The content of the movie implies that, therefore, we cannot quite determine where the reality ends and a dream begins.
