Product Description

Product Description

Bertolucci directs this erotic drama based on a novel by Gilbert Adair. Set against the backdrop of a politically-turbulent Paris in 1968, the film tells the story of Matthew (Michael Pitt), an American student abroad, who befriends twin brother and sister Theo (Louis Garrel) and Isabelle (Eva Green) at a political demonstration. The three share a passion for cinema, and quickly become friends. When the twins' parents (Robin Renucci and Anna Chancellor) leave the city for the summer, the twins invite Matthew to live with them in their sumptuous Bohemian flat. As the revolution rages outside in the streets, the three embark on an intense, insular journey that will change Matthew's life forever.

From Amazon.co.uk

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

4.0 out of 5 starsNot my favorite Bertolucci film, but well worth seeing
By K. Gordon TOP 500 REVIEWER on 20 July 2012
Format: DVD
Once again, Bertolucci explores his favorite themes of politics, the nature of individuality vs. belonging and transgressive
sex.

In 1968 Paris, as the protests that began around cinema threaten to expand and bring down the government, an odd
ménage-a-trios develops between a young American and a twin brother and sister, whose relationship is full of
borderline incest. The three form a tight circle and almost forget the world outside while dunk on booze, sexuality,
and each other. But by the end, the maelstrom outside is too powerful to simply be ignored.

This is a very good film, but for me, not quite a great one. The depths of these characters aren't explored the way
Bertolucci does in, say `The Conformist', and there are even some places where it feels like he pulls his punches
(not a director one thinks of doing so.) But the homosexual attraction between the brother and the American is
reduced to an occasional ambiguous smoldering glance. That aspect, among others, was far more explicit in the novel.

None-the-less, the film is beautifully made (some terrific editing that inserts images from other films that relate to and
comment on the story), and the acting is solid (and bold. While the sex itself isn't that much more explicit than in many
films, the amount of relaxed nudity is, and that meant these young actors had to really throw off their inhibitions to make
many scenes work.

Avoid edited versions - this film is largely about sexuality, and watering down that element waters down the film.

4.0 out of 5 starsfilm appreciation in the buff
By schumann_bg TOP 50 REVIEWER on 11 Dec. 2014
Format: DVD
There is a lot to enjoy in this playful film, which is not entirely playful ... The implications of a scene just before the end are left floating, as is the ending itself. It is ambiguous to say the least, yanking the film back into the political arena and suggesting that private confusion may find an outlet in political engagement. This far-reaching theme is added almost as an afterthought to what is a 'huis clos' situation between a somewhat incestuous brother and sister and an American student they meet, coinciding with the absence of the parents. This is the cue for a lot of stripping off, which provides some visual thrills in the form of Louis Garrel, Eva Green and Michael Pitt, that are quite pornographic in places. All credit to them for putting themselves in the hands of the director Bernardo Bertolucci, as it is required by the tone of the film and perhaps constitutes its originality. There is a feeling of them being rich and spoilt, which is in the script; holding our sympathy, or at least our interest, is largely down to them. The playfulness arises not only from their antics, which can be tedious, but from the continuous stream of film references, as they are all film buffs and constantly refer to films with forfeits if the allusion is not identified. Bertolucci intercuts scenes in the cluttered Paris apartment with moments from a number of classic films, including Bande a part, A Bout de Souffle, Blonde Venus, and Queen Christina - but there are many others, as well as bits from soundtracks by Bernard Herrmann and Jean Constantin (The 400 Blows), even without the visuals. It makes for a rich texture and a kind of homage to filmmaking itself.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsDefying expectations and actually does the impossible
By Bionic Reviwer on 23 April 2006
Format: DVD
Without generalising, most of todays films that either try to explore sexuality and youth and liberty tend to side with the explicit, and thus the film is weak.

The Dreamers departs from this tradition. Finally we are given a truely riveting plot, that is utterly consuming, so much so, it is mouth-watering. Here, Bernardo Bertolluci hones his craft perfectly that he does the unimaginable-he gives us characters whom we actually care about. Theo (played by Louis Garell, who after the volitile Ma Mere, proves his acting ability) and his twin sister, Isa, do not have a normal relationship. They liberate themselves and taboo break, they are not phased by seeing one another naked or partaking in sexual acts. But it is a pure bond of love and nothing incestuous, although it does misleadingly form this impression at the beginning.

In steps Matthew, an American student taking in the sights and sounds of Paris, amidst the politcal back drop, that is so vivid, the film has a potent air of true period capture and revolution.

In cinema, if there is one thing i can not abide by, it is jumped up films that are pretentious drivel, pretending to be a mix of drama and erotisism. But that is where again The Dreamers again departs from tradtion. The naked flesh and sexuality explores the relationship between the three characters, in a simply breathtaking manner. Usually the audience will be on alert when the sauce appears on screen, but this film has such a natural ease that what potentially could of caused a mainstream furoure, is instead sheer provocative brilliance.

The young actors are fantastic, haunting and memorable-and what a surprise it was to see Anna Chancellor in this film, as Theo's and Isa's mother.Read more ›
