A love letter to movies (and the French new wave of the 1960s in particular), Bernardo Bertolucci's The Dreamers starts with a 1968 riot outside of a Parisian movie palace then burrows into an insular love triangle. Matthew (Michael Pitt, Hedwig and the Angry Inch), an expatriate American student, bonds with a twin brother and sister, Isabelle (Eva Green) and Theo (Louis Garrel), over their mutual love of film--they not only quote lines of dialogue, they act out small bits and challenge each other to name the cinematic source. Matthew suspects the twins of incest, but that doesn't stop him from falling into his own intimacies with Isabelle. As the threesome becomes threatened, Paris succumbs to student riots. The Dreamers aspires to be kinky, but the results are more decorative than decadent; nonetheless, the movie's lively energy recalls the careless and vital exuberance of Godard and Truffaut. --Bret Fetzer

Description
From Academy Award -winning director Bernardo Bertolucci (The Last Emperor, 1987), comes an erotic tale of three young film lovers brought together by their passion for movies -- and each other. When Isabelle and Theo (Eva Green, Louis Garrel) invite Matthew (Michael Pitt) to stay with them, what begins as a casual friendship ripens into a sensual voyage of discovery and desire in which nothing is off limits and anything is possible. Featuring an engaging, seductive cast, The Dreamers is a ?spellbinding, provocative feast!" (Ebert & Roeper)

The NC-17 version is the ONLY version to watch!! July 5, 2008

Ahh, watched this one again with two friends. Eva is glorious. Her performance! Her nakedness! Michael Pitt and the other gent's performances and nakedness are, as well, wonderful. The age of innocence. I love the playful exploring (sexually/psychologically) they do. The freedom. The myriad movie references. A salute to vintage film. Lovely. Dreamy. It will say what it wants to say to you. For more to that end, you can easily check out a thoughtful review by Roger Ebert. Worthy.

So, if you're looking for something with an edge, challenging sexual situations (yet with a purity), marvelous cinematography, music, and, of course, my favourite, MOOD--then you might do well to give this your undivided attention. Lovely. Beautiful.

Enjoy-enjoy!

Pretty And Charming But Nothing To Say June 11, 2008

I wouldn't say this movie is a bad film, but afterward you won't gain any food for thought from it. The two stars of the film are Eva Green's boobs. For the ladies, there's dongs hanging out quite a bit. Basically, the movie is about nudity, and three young characters trying to appear just likable and jolly enough to hide the fact they're in a softcore movie, with a few boundry pushing moments (that won't be that shocking to mature adults in this day and age I would think.) I'm not trying to be mean, but despite the great music, taboo subjects, and 60's counter-culture, everything about the plot is pretty much dull and cut'n'paste version of those things. Oh yeah, the characters are film buffs too, which really leads to cut'n'paste, as moments from their favorite films are sprinkled in the movie. So overall, I felt the whole story was ineffective, and the structure of the film ends up what I guess you could call "cute." The atmosphere and candid spirit of sexual adventure are what take a film that can't find anything to say and at least make it a comfortable trip. The question is, is that enough to make it a great movie, or is this a great cop-out that shouldn't think itself any greater than a skinemax late night movie? That's what I'm still wondering, and believe me I'd prefer the film had raised more substantial questions than that.

Art House....Keep Dreaming June 8, 2008
W. Swain (APO, AE)
The Dreamers is set in Paris during the student riots of the 60's. It follows two siblings, Theo and Isabelle, and an American foreign exchange student Matthew. The Parisian setting is the last bit of the social strife brought up in the movie until the end. The bulk of the movie is spent with the main characters exploring their sexuality. There are some watchable parts to the movie, but for the most part it was good only if you like gratuitous nudity. I know that it is labeled as an artsy movie and that is what Bertolucci is known for but it seems to be less of a thinking movie and more of an excuse for Eva Green to get naked. If that's what you're looking for then this movie is for you but if you are looking for a good period piece then I would look to somewhere else.

Watch it alone, or when you're about to enjoy yourself ;) May 9, 2008

This movie was amazing! It's a movie about French movies, and the plot is really nice and funny. I really enjoyed watching this movie. If you're gonna watch it, watch it by yourself, or with your partner. It's very VERY sexual. Loved it!
