Just when you thought Nicolas Cage’s filmography couldn’t get any weirder, along comes Kristoffer Borgli’s “Dream Scenario” to mess with your head. Cage plays a character you probably wouldn’t noti…
Cage plays a character you probably wouldn’t notice in real life: Paul Matthews. Schlubby, balding, in rumpled pants and brown leather loafers, he’s a tenured professor at a university you’ve never heard of, droning on year after year about collective consciousness and the wisdom of the herd. And then something weird happens. Paul starts to appear in people’s dreams, either standing around or just strolling through, and suddenly this all-but-invisible man has people paying attention to him.
In short, Paul is a pathetic character whose early behavior speaks volumes about both his ambitions and his incapacity to follow through on them. He has two daughters , to whom he is hopelessly uncool, and a wife, Janet , who supports him. Then the dream thing starts to happen, disrupting his relatively stable home life. The movie opens with a mild nightmare, which seems normal enough until impossible things start to happen.
No explanation is ever given for why Paul is suddenly “invading” strangers’ dreams. Nor does the film answer why certain people aren’t affected . As an evolutionary biologist, Paul seems better equipped to solve this mystery than most, and audiences — like some in the film — may wonder if he’s secretly doing something to cause the phenomenon.
