DREAM MOVIES
February 25, 2021  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 6:00 a.m. ET

 
TCM has a full day of films to build a dream on – or, at least, movies containing at least one spectacularly resonant dream sequence or nightmarish setting. Things start at 6 a.m. ET with The Exterminating Angel, surrealist Luis Buñuel’s 1962 allegory about an endless dinner party. At 7:45 a.m. ET, the mood gets darker with another 1962 film, Carnival of Souls, a creepy horror film starring Candace Hilligoss. At 9:15 a.m. ET, Federica Fellini directs his wife, Giuletta Masina, in 1966’s Juliet of the Spirits, where dreams and reality intertwine. At 11:45 a.m. ET, TCM presents the first of two movies directed by Vincente Minnelli: 1945’s Yolanda and the Thief. The second, at 4:15 p.m. ET, is 1954’s Brigadoon, starring Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse. And between those two Minnelli movies, at 1:45 p.m. ET, is Michael Powell’s visually stunning 1948 ballet fable, The Red Shoes. And rounding everything off, at 6:30 p.m. ET? The 1943 moody horror film produced by Val Lewton, 1943’s I Walked with a Zombie (pictured).
