Another wonderful expression of Has' poetic mode of realistic oneiricism, Gold Dreams follows a young drifter trying to escape from the waking nightmare and oppressive guilt that he may- or may not- have killed a man in a road accident. The young man eventually finds his way to a remote coal mining outpost peopled by lonely men in search of wealth, raw adventure and new identities, including a tubercular geologist who befriends the young man and helps him discover a possible new direction for his life. The bleak, almost lunar, landscapes offer a powerful metaphor for the unmoored worlds invented by Has' careful melding of interior and exterior worlds where thoughts and dreams are suddenly made real.
