NYT Critic’s Pick

A taxman lives in a future world that evokes the disarray of dream logic in this creative and surreal sci-fi movie. In 2035, our dreams are no longer our own-they're infused with product placement and auditors assess unpaid taxes on our most private reveries. Beleaguered taxman James Preble (Kentucker Audley) arrives at a run-down house in the countryside for a routine audit and encounters Bella Isadora (Penny Fuller), a lifelong dreamer who remains resolutely analog, circumventing the surveillance state with VHS tapes and homemade headgear. Can Preble and Bella escape from the modern, monetized dreamscape and find refuge in Strawberry Mansion? Not Rated, 1h 31m. Watch Trailer
