He tags fish and monitors their habits for a living, but his greatest curiosity is when and how they dream. Axel's uncle, Leo Sweetie (Jerry Lewis) would prefer Axel take over the family business, a Cadillac dealership in Tucson, Arizona; against his better judgment, Axel drives from New York to Arizona to check out the lot and attend Leo's wedding to Millie (Paulina Porizkova), a woman who is hoping that marriage will keep her from crying all the time. While watching the Cadillacs, Leo meets Elaine Stalker (Faye Dunaway), the sexy widow of a wealthy mine owner, and the two strike up a romance, while Elaine's daughter Grace (Lili Taylor) wanders through her mother's home playing 'Besame Mucho' on the accordion to her pet turtles. Needless to say, Warner Bros, the film's United States distributor, didn't figure this was a sure bet for box-office success, and they trimmed Arizona Dream of 22 minutes before putting it into limited release and eventually dumping it onto home video without opening it in most major cities. Kusturica's original 142-minute (135 min in PAL format) cut was released in Europe (where it did respectable if not ground-shaking busin

Arizona Dream [Region 2] Reviews:
Arizona Dream
2009-08-07 - This is one of Johnny Depp's First films and in my opinion one of his best. I love new actors when they are still uncertain about themselves. They give it all they have and still believe it may not be good enough. Well Johnny this is great! Hate to see your innocents fade. He's great as a seductive lover. Wish he would return to this type of movie!

Because of Johnny
2009-07-18 - Glad to finally get to watch this early film of Depps. He is excellent and even without the looks, his voice is one of a kind.
It was escapism because the real world never really showed itself,like our own dreams.
I won't buy this one or watch it again but watched it as part of Johnny's body of work.



Didn't get it
2009-01-24 - I am not a movie lover but sometimes I enjoy watching something that is pure escapism. From the reviews I read, I was under the impression that this movie would provide such an experience. I was very disappointed. I don't understand psychological, philosophical, literary references. I am just to dumb. And, I am much to dumb to understand this movie. If you like a good story, its not for you. If you like movie's where things happen, its not for you. I was confused from the beginning to the end. There was not a single moment of coherency in the entire effort. But then again, I'm sure its because I'm just too dumb.

Come on US film companies
2008-04-16 - What's so Da*n difficult about releasing this on DVD in The US? I know it doesn't have stuff blowing up in it, but come on.

From NYC to Arizona !
2007-11-05 - "Arizona dream" works out above all, as an admirable metaphor, an urban fable, aroused from a simple fact, when a hotshot in New York I tricked about a business in which his own uncle is involved.

Once he arrives to Arizona he will meet a very eccentric and out of context woman: This expected romance with the admirable Arizona's landscapes as big frame will ignite of surrealistic poetry.

Before you bet for this film, I think you should be aware about the particular aesthetics of this connoted filmmaker, whose non linearity and powerful dreamy style at the moment to tell a story will allow you to enjoy with major pleasure this emotive love story, hovered by sarcastic lines all the way through.
