Absolutely crazy movie in a good meaning! He wants to catch a fish, she wants to fly, her daughter wants to become a turtle. They found each other. You just can't describe this movie with words, but maybe with music by Goran Bregovic. Dreams...should they come true? They are so different, but so real. "Two wrong don't make a right". It is just a feast! The movie is spinning, draws the audience into the whirlpool of events, characters & their dreams. There is not one mentally balanced character! Complete madness and it's beautiful. Personally for me all this movie is about dreams. I fell in love with the intro, "if you want to look at someone's soul, you have to look at their dreams". After that it's hard to decide whether you should laugh or cry for the rest of the movie.

"Arizona Dream" is the first, and so far only, English-language, shot-in-America film of Emir Kusturica. It was not a commercial success, and it's easy to see why: it's an unmarketable, unclassifiable film. It's about dreams, love, loss, and movies (but not necessarily in that order). It runs nearly two and a half hours, the characters are all oddballs, it switches from broad comedy to intense drama at a moment's notice, and it has a depressing ending. And yet, there is something to be said about a director who breaks the "rules" of movie-making, such as the traditional "three-act" structure. "Arizona Dream", like a dream, is more about the journey than the destination: the journey is sometimes bumpy, but often magical (there are a couple of amazing scenes, for which it is better to be unprepared); Goran Bregovic's music is extraordinarily powerful, and the entire cast is great. *** out of 4.

Since you probably know that Johnny Depp appears in this movie, you have probably concluded that like most other Johnny Depp movies, this particular one is also weird. And you would be right. In fact, this may be the strangest movie Depp has appeared in. It's a constantly surreal movie, with bizarre images and characters acting in extremely eccentric ways. Normally those kind of things might throw me off, but I have to admit that it was made in a way that's pretty compelling and kept me watching. The acting by everyone is good, and this is definitely one movie you won't be able to say you've seen before. I'll admit the last half hour of the movie kind of falls apart, there are a few plot points that seem murky (like how the relationship between Depp and Faye Dunaway evolves), and the movie is definitely not a mass audience film. But if you have the taste for something different, you should probably give this movie a try.

Emir's first movie in the United States "Arizona Dream" is a magnificent movie that wrongfully never got the credit it undoubtedly deserved.As a matter of fact it is one of his most underrated movies.Personally i esteem Arizona Dream as Kusturica's best movie as well as one of the best movies of all time.It is about the dreams people have,the everyday routine that drives everyone crazy,as well as the most difficult issue in life:the human relationships...Arizona Dream is an original,pure,pristine masterpiece.An ode to every man's sensorineural.Just let yourself feel the magic of this epic and just keep on dreaming...
