• The Dreamers

  Chris Brathwaite 21 February 2006

  

  The Dreamers - pretentious, virtually meaningless and explicit; everything you wish for in a French film. American student Matthew goes to France in the 60s and hooks up with twins Isabelle and Theo to spend their days intellectualising about films and politics - oh and indulging in sex although the touch of incest is not at all salacious. All 3 are little more than over privileged individuals who can afford to spout rhetoric as opposed to experiencing any real suffering. A film which lives up its title in everyway.

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 Actors Michael Pitt, Eva Green, Louis Garrel, Anna Chancellor & Jean-Pierre Leaud Director Bernardo Bertolucci Certificate 18 years and over Year 2003 Screen Widescreen 1.85:1 Anamorphic Languages English - Dolby Digital (5.1) Subtitles English for the hearing impaired Duration 1 hour and 50 minutes (approx)

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.
