Nicolas Cage's Viral Fame Comedy Delivers His Best Role in Years

Nicolas Cage delivers his most Nicolas Cage-like performance yet in "Dream Scenario," a surreal fantasy-satire about the allure and dangers of viral fame in the age of social media. Cage plays Professor Paul Matthews, a dull academic who becomes a bizarre celebrity when he starts appearing in everyone's dreams as an unimportant character. As his dream celebrity status grows, Matthews attempts to monetize his newfound fame, leading to unexpected consequences. Directed by Kristoffer Borgli, "Dream Scenario" is a smart and enjoyable film that explores the uncanny experience of fame and the self-consciousness it brings.
