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)
Amazon.com

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

This movie is very disturbing at many levels. Shot with a foreign film feel you're swept up in the love triangle. This isn't hardcore in the penetration sense, but definately not for kids! While Green isn't supermodel gorgeous, she is very beautiful and shows us every inch of her body. Beware, you may feel dirty for enjoying this movie!

A strange and beautiful movie - Reviewed on 2008-10-12

The Dreamers is a very unusual movie, telling the story of a pair of French twins, Isabelle and Theo (Eva Green & Louis Garrel), who invite an American student, Matthew (Michael Pitt) to stay with them in their Paris apartment. Attracted to them first by a shared interest in the cinema, Matthew is soon drawn into the twins' incestuous relationship. To gain a full appreciation of the movie, including its historical background (set in the 1960's at the time of the student riots in Paris, and related to events in the French film industry at that time), I would recommend watching the excellent special features first. On the other hand, if you are just looking for a wonderful sensual experience, you'll get that, too, in some great nude scenes featuring the beautiful Mlle Green. Make sure you get the uncut version; it is definitely worth buying.

Very unusual, erotic, graphic film. Eva Green (current " Bond Girl"), is beautiful, sexy and plays an incredible role, making her character believable. Never liked Michael Pitt, but he did well in this.

I actually really enjoyed this movie. The plot is good, the scenes are vivid and realistic, and while the writing is a bit lacking, the acting is actually very good. Much of the story didn't really make a whole lot of sense, and the relationship between the brother and sister is really never fleshed out. But, oh, my, to spend much of the movie viewing Eva Green disrobed is, well, worth the price of the dvd.
