My review was written in May 1988 after a Cannes Film Festival Market screening.
"Living Dreams" is an off-the-wall, undergorund comedy that seves more as an audition feature for helmer Alan Greenberg (a scripter for Werner Herzog with one previous documentary to his credit) than a fully realized film. Commercial prospects are for cult viewers only.
Miami-set yarn concerns a bunch of oddballs who hang out at the Numero Uno nightclub. They all have pipe dreams: club own4r Numero Uno (Xavier Orosz) hopes to invade Cuba, using as a Mata Hari to get to Castro his featured singerf Martica; Victor Sher plays himself, a European emigre making a movie (he's exec producer of "Living Dreams" and addresses the viewer directly from time to time). Gary Keats gives the best performance as a gay Vietnam vet who segues into Flannery O'Connor's "Wise Bloood" when he suddenly forms the Church of God Without God.
Episodic format doesn't hold together well and the acting (particularly by the women) is rough and ready. Steve Zimmerman and Nick Amster provide welcome comedy routines as respectively a rap singer and a hipster record promoter. Tech credits are low-budget.
