Jeremiah Zagar’s family portrait, “In a Dream” is a decades-long quest following his father Isaiah, a Philadelphia muralist who believes in “giganticness,” and is said to have painted more than 50,000 square feet of the South Street corridor of the City of Brotherly Love. Over the course of a decade, family secrets and indiscretions are sure to emerge, and their eruptions are painful, but hypnotic. Animation and a dazzling visual style suggest that Jeremiah has Isaiah’s gifts, with perhaps a tad less self-absorption. 80m. (Ray Pride)
