Dreams Don't Make Noise When They Die
Christian Braad Thomsen, Denmark, 1979
80 min.DK/Feature
With his wife in tow, a young anti-violence activist-politician visits his dying father and finds that he has a score to settle with his own past and present. In being unforgiving towards the old tyrant, is he a bit of a tyrant himself? When an old schoolmate rapes his wife, his own reaction is one of outright violence. The old man on his death-bed sees old quarrels magnified, but it's all too late.
