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

Rating: - The Dreamers
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.
Rating: - Eye Candy
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Everything you'd expect from Bertolucci
Ah, NC-17. Possibly one of the dumber ratings out there. The concept is great! Tag movies, like this, that aren't made for kids but are for an adult audience, with a rating that keeps kids away. In principle ... Read More
Rating: - Perfect end
The ending is perfect, while I was watching, I was hoping that this film would not self-destruct with a cliched ending. I won't give it away, but Mathew's final interaction with Theo and Isabelle grabbed me with ... Read More
