Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

nshdnn Beautiful cinematography and editing that seamlessly cut between the main character's banter and the cinematic nostalgia of older films. thoroughly enjoyed the fine threading between the dreamlike perspectives of the characters and the dreamy cinematic extracts. bertolucci was able to successfully portray the characters so tastefully despite their unconventional and eccentric characteristics. this is a movie i can watch over and over again and be completely enthralled and impressed by every time. the actors carried their characters handsomely and the execution of the entire film was splendid! one of my favourite films!

ravidubey16 there is some mystery attraction in the direction, Bernardo Bertolucci direction will keep you hooked all the time, this boggling movie portrays difficult emotions so well; you will just get involved in it. We have difficulty in understanding ourselves and our emotions, 3 young characters with a different ideology, some messed up thoughts are struggling to adapt to reality but parallelly accepting it, this irony is so well crafted and displayed making is surely watch for deep cinema lovers.If you are looking for mere entertainment avoid it, if interested to watch some piece classic movie making go for it..

SnoopyStyle It's 1968. Matthew (Michael Pitt) is an American student in Paris to study French. He ends up spending his free time watching French cinema. He meets twins Théo (Louis Garrel) and Isabelle (Eva Green) at the Cinémathèque Française protesting the firing of Henri Langlois by the government. Matthew stays with them while their parents are away. They spend all their time together and then the student riots begin.This was the first thing I saw from Eva Green and she is completely magnetic. She owns the screen. She even exceeded the veteran at the time Michael Pitt. It's a big debut. The mixing with the old film clips would have been great except I recognize only a few of them. This meanders too much for me. It's lazy hazy summer of love.

Slime-3 Against a backdrop of the 1968 student riots in Paris Matthew, a young American student obsessed with movies, hooks up with a brother and sister,Theo and Isabelle, the twin offspring of a celebrated poet, who share his passion. The friendship rapidly becomes deep and disturbing; the twins seemingly enjoying an incestuous relationship and Theo a bi-sexual disposition towards their new friend. But all is not quite as it appears. These seemingly sophisticated intellectuals live in a bizarre enclosed little world of their own, indulged by wealthy parents and more child-like than the American first assumes. In a film that is bursting with movie in-jokes and references,the trio join in protests at the Cinemateque, replicate the 'Louvre record' from BANDE A PARTE in a scene inter-cut with shots from the original movie and develop a parlour game of "Name the film or pay the forfeit" ,that soon stretches the bounds of taste and decency, once the parents have left for the country.The trio spend most of their time in the large rambling apartment, which begins as charmingly shabby-chic and descends into student-squat squalor, indulging in ever more lurid sexually charged games. Nudity increases as they become insular and the world outside becomes more distant in a way that evokes a cult film of this era,PERFORMANCE. But THE DREAMERS, being a 21st century film,goes further and among several intimate and unsettling scenes that many might find offensive, the trio take a candle-lit bath in a haze of 'exotic cigarette' smoke which lulls them into unconsciousness, to find on awakening that Isabelle has started her menstruation while they have been asleep...and the bathwater has turned red.If the subject matter is an acquired taste then without doubt the film looks wonderful. Paris in 1968 is lovingly recreated; the cars and backgrounds are right, the music includes Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Bob Dylan, there is much talk of Mao and revolution. The acting is very good, naturalistic and engaging. The leading trio all fit their rolls to perfection and Eva Green as the pretty, pouting, full-busted,long haired Isabelle is the perfect image (cliche?)of a freethinking 1960s femme fatale. THE DREAMERS is a significant movie for me. Watching it for the first time I became intrigued by the homage it paid to Jean-Luc Godard's BANDE A PART, a film of which I previously knew nothing. I sought out the DVD, was entranced by this great movie(and Anna Karina in particular!)and have been hooked on French New Wave movies ever since. Re-watching it two years later I 'get' more of the filmic references, the haunting use of the theme from PIERROT LE FOU and the cameo of Jean-Pierre Leaud among others, but most of all I am struck by how intimate and graphic the relationships are portrayed. Not an easy film to like at times and not a film for all tastes but a brilliant one nonetheless.
