(Henry Hathaway, US 1935, 88 min., 16mm)

Astral Plane. Architect Peter Ibbetson (Gary Cooper) is hired by the Duke of Towers for a restoration project, but finds himself falling for the Duke’s wife. Their love grows, and even after Peter is sentenced to life in prison, its power allows the two to meet, quite literally, in dreams. An unjustly forgotten masterpiece, Peter Ibbetson was a favorite film of the early surrealists, including Luis Buñuel.
