It\u2019s barely the first light of dawn in the forested wilds of central Mexico, as the camera pans across treetops just discernible from the charred sky above them, and we\u2019re reminded that nature, even at its most tranquil, is never quiet. Still, it\u2019s drowned out in short order by the flatter, harsher man-made noise of trucks and power tools, as trees are felled and hasty construction begins. Joaqu\u00edn del Paso\u2019s film initially promises an environmental fable of sorts, a reflection on man\u2019s destruction of the earth beneath his feet \u2014 though we\u2019ll soon see it\u2019s as much about man\u2019s destruction of man too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe third feature by the Mexican writer-director (following 2021\u2019s Venice-premiered \u201cThe Hole in the Fence\u201d)  is another timely entry in the rapidly expanding canon of contemporary migrant portraits, though its specific tale is an unusual one \u2014 following as it does a makeshift family of Haitian outsiders attempting to integrate with a group of Mexican logging-industry laborers, and finding themselves marginalized by a community already on the outskirts of society. But it\u2019s a parallel strand tracing the mass southward migration of monarch butterflies, crossing paths with this human family\u2019s long journey north, that lends del Paso\u2019s lyrical film a distinguishing shimmer of what might be called natural magical realism \u2014 the sense of a world far larger than our im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>te experience of it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tA standout in this year\u2019s Panorama program at Berlin, \u201cThe Garden We Dreamed\u201d is a small-scale production that nonetheless has real cinematic heft \u2014 in large part thanks to striking widescreen lensing by Nuri Bilge Ceylan\u2019s regular DP G\u00f6khan Tiryaki \u2014 and urgent human stakes that steadily vault this intimate, delicately sensory film into heart-in-mouth survival thriller territory. That escalation ought to turn the heads of arthouse distributors, while a long trail of further festival invitations is a given.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tEsther (a superb Nehemie Bastien) and Junior (Faustin Pierre) have not been together for that long, but they\u2019ve evidently weathered enough hardship together on their arduous trek from Haiti through North America to have bonded them into a tight, mutually dependent unit. Esther\u2019s two young daughters, Flor (Kima\u00eblle Holly Preville) and Aisha (Rut Aicha Pierre Nelson), already regard Junior as a father figure, and when he takes a grueling, high-risk job with a crew of illegal loggers led by shady boss To\u00f1o (Carlos Esquivel), it\u2019s with the responsibilities of a family breadwinner weighing down on him. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe cacophonous construction in the film opening scene is of a ramshackle company hut for Junior\u2019s whole family to live in \u2014 nothing more than a one-room shed, it\u2019s cramped and unequal to the coming rainy season. Esther does her best to make it a home with colorful fabrics and freshly picked wildflowers, while the girls delight in the paradisiacal playground on their doorstep: Every shade of green is present and correct in Tiryaki\u2019s lush compositions. But hazards hover both in the turning weather, a threat in particular to Flor\u2019s severe asthma, and in Junior\u2019s work environment, where he\u2019s treated with racist disregard by his co-workers, while locals incensed by the company\u2019s violation of the forest make vengeful overtures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThere\u2019s real, sweat-inducing tension to scenes where Esther, alone at home with her children, is encircled and menaced by mobs of men preying on the easiest of targets. But others, where relentless, shelter-soaking rain is the aggressor, are no less vivid and terrifying, amplified by the rattling, percussive intensity of extraordinary sound design by Lena Esquenazi, Valeria Mancheva and Antonio Porem. Well supported by her two marvelously unaffected onscreen children, Bastien anchors such passages with palpable physical exhaustion and staunch but visibly fraying maternal resolve: a remarkable performance that invites audiences to step outside mere sympathy into shared, visceral anxiety.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIf \u201cThe Garden We Dreamed\u201d flirts with outright horror at its most perilous points, however, it\u2019s neither exploitative nor a punishing downer, as del Paso maintains a perspective in line with the characters\u2019 ruggedly hopeful, die-hard persistence, and a pure, exhilarated thrill in their natural surroundings. The fiery flutter of the swarming monarchs might beautify many a frame, but their presence isn\u2019t merely decorative, as the film ponders how multiple species move through a world increasingly hostile to them, and survive the journey \u2014 though not without occasional, peaceful pauses to take in the scenery, surveying it at once for danger and wonder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
