The dream that stays is a documentary by Leopold Lummerstorfer , which portrays twenty people who live in Vienna's municipal housing trotting grounds.
content
In the film, the Austrian director Leopold Lummerstorfer shows the everyday life of residents of Rennbahnweg 27 in Vienna's Danube city . With around 2,400 apartments, the complex is one of the largest municipal housing developments in Vienna; over 8,000 people live in the complex. In general, the quarter is considered a social hotspot.
In the form of snapshots, residents express their views on the inadequate infrastructure, poor access to local public transport, construction defects, anonymity, poor administration, economic emergencies, vandalism and violent crime. At the same time, family and life stories are made visible and elements of personal happiness are described.
In addition to the residents, the planners of the settlement, construction workers, carpenters, civil servants, business women and social workers also have their say in the film.
criticism
Isabella Reicher from the daily newspaper Der Standard saw the documentary as a "surprise success" for Austrian cinema. Lummerstorfer has thus succeeded in a social study that moves "without much effort ... to gentle real satire". A dream that remains is a “politically alert and amusing film”.
The Berlin-based film editor Robert Weixlbaumer rated it as an "outstanding documentary" because it "constantly undermines the prejudices" that "could help to understand something about the Rennbahnweg too quickly".
Publication on DVD
The film was published in the edition Der Österreichische Film of the newspaper Der Standard (No. 100).
