Sweet Dreams
Sweet Dreams (2023, Rated R) is a sharp-eyed satire set on a sugar plantation on an Indonesian island in the final years of the Dutch colonial era. Ena Sendijarević’s second feature is a potent reminder that European colonialism did not come to a tidy ending in the innumerable countries it affected (to say nothing of the neocolonialism still impacting much of the globe).
