Summary: 4 Stars
The Dreamers is a very fascinating film about an American student named Matthew (Michael Pitt (II) who comes to France to study french for a year in 1968. Matthew, a film lover found himself visiting the cinema quite frequently.
The film shows a very realistic time in France of the student riots in Paris, during the Vietnam War era.
However, the film also tells another story of a coming of age of three young people in their early 20s.
Matthew soon meets twins, Isabelle (Eva Green) and Th?o (Louis Garrel). The trio's realized love for film turns into a courtship that becomes more sexual as their friendship develops. Matthew appeared to be a "naive" American who was intrigued by the openness of the French and especially the implied incestuous relationship between siblings Isabelle and Th?o.
Matthew ends up moving in with the twins. Isabelle and Th?o initiated Matthew into their world of dreams and fantasy as they challenged each other to movie trivia as well as risqu? sexual games that crosses the line of their friendship and sends them on a sensual voyage of discovery and desire.
There was indeed a revolution going on outside with the student riots but their was another more intimate revolution that occurred among the characters. Matthew found himself in love with the inseparable twins but especially found himself wanting Isabelle to himself.
Although, Isabelle appeared very sexual, she had never been on a date and never experienced intimacy with
anyone other than her brother Th?o; so she was quite naive herself.
I think the writer and director attempt in this film was to shock the audience as well as take the audience on a sexual voyage that would stimulate even the most conservative people. This shock would probably make one either love or hate this movie. It at times made me feel ashamed to be turned on by the characters relationships but also intrigued by the complexity of what was going in the real world demonstrations outside verses the dream world antics that occurred among the trio.
Although, the characters gave in to each other sexually there was a constant battle for control of who would
ultimately end up with Isabelle and their insatiable world that they had created.
This film is not for everyone because of its adult content. For example, full-frontal nudity, implied incest, and
soft-core sex. And also some people may be turned off by the historical background in the movie and overall
complexity of the movie and its characters. The cinematography at times was dark but of good quality.
Overall, this was a very good film.
Four stars out of five.

DVD Review: THE DREAMERS
Summary: 5 Stars
GREAT MOVIE SHOWING A LOT OF TALENT FROM THE YOUNG ACTORS, SPECIALLY MICHAEL PITT,EVA GREEN AND LOUS GARREL. MAYBE A LTTLE TOO GRAPHIC ON THE SEX SCENE.
DVD Review: 2.5 stars out of 4
Summary: 3 Stars
The Bottom Line:
Though Eva Green is gorgeous to look at and it's nice to see a movie in which sex plays a large role that doesn't make sex look choreographed, The Dreamers never manages to capture the potential of its sexual-freedom-meets-May68 plot and thus remains more of an interesting failure than an accomplished movie.
Description of The Dreamers (Original Uncut NC-17 Version)
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)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
