Both cinema and dream are our most frequent link to illusion and lie. Whereas dream is reconstructing the world, cinema waking dream is interpreting the appearance of things. Art and cinema as a roundabout way through which dream finds the path to reality, art and dreams, same lies telling the truth. In the book nine of the Odyssey, Ulysses prince of the liars, begins the tale of his journey. Inherited from oral tradition, the Odyssey keeps the trace of an archaic dream, the dream of the thwart and ceaselessly delayed coming back close to his own kind or to his beloved one. The trace of wandering among his lies and illusions. Lie and dream as salutary products and vehicles of our senses wandering.
