But Carola voices concerns about her own child, David, that morph from maternal anxieties into intimations of evil. She bonds with Carola (Dolores Fonzi), a restless local with the magnetic appeal of an undiscovered movie star. Amanda (María Valverde) has just moved into a country house with her daughter, Nina, and is waiting for her husband to join them. It’s almost a shame to specify plot details, because the film expresses a complex emotional perspective without clinging to the genre rules of mystery or the supernatural. Lllosa’s sensually shot film takes the story of a mother facing strange danger and casts a spell that feels like being dropped into the character’s mind. With “Fever Dream,” the filmmaker Claudia Llosa (“Milk of Sorrow”) enters the intimately destabilizing realms of the Argentine writer Samanta Schweblin, adapting her 2014 novel of the same title.
