CNN —Across the political spectrum, there’s a consensus that social media is dangerous.
Director Kristoffer Borgli’s latest film, “Dream Scenario,” half builds on, half parodies those fears and anxieties for its absurdist plot.
It also suggests, though, that the dynamics and dangers of online existence aren’t exactly new and aren’t exactly about social media at all.
“Dream Scenario” is about how, even before we could see short hip hop dance videos on loop, we’ve always been in each other’s skulls.
As “Dream Scenario” suggests, for better and worse, to be human is to dream together.
