The Dreamers Audience Reviews

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
iravavastav I really enjoyed this fine making of a good cinema which added a final touch to its art of expression. It was fascinating to see how conservatively educated american (mathew) adjusts to the life of Theo and Isabelle finally loosing all of their innocence.Be strong enough to understand the situations that the characters find themselves in, that is the reality of the outer world. The characters are finely portrayed, as they almost talk about all the subjects of thoughts not shying away from any controversies. This move gets deeper and deeper and characters get more and more complex.The Dreamers is all about complex characters in vividity to life. Strictly for Artistic lovers.
Kirpianuscus provocative. a word who, in this case, has a lot of senses. sure, the atmosphere of "68 is the first pillar of fascination about it. the second - the eroticism and performances of lead actors and cultural references and the map of an unique age. not the last - it is a film by Bertolucci. and , maybe, this status represents the key for discover it in the right light. because it is the genre of film who explores symbols and the essence of freedom. because the name of director is the first step for expectations. because it is a film who seems be poetic and cruel and profound honest and strange. in fact, it is not exactly a show but a precise analysis. like each film of Bernardo Bertolucci. the sensuality, the admirable refuge of three young people far from near every day reality, remembering the old utopias, are pieces of a fascinating game between illusions and the cold truth.
Anthony Iessi What a wonderful movie. The Dreamers is a love letter to the French New Wave, with all the spectacular erotica that Bertolucci can offer. It's a celluloid porno.. literally speaking. Finally, film fetishism and hardcore sex meet at last. The performances from the trio of lovers are outstanding and brave. Like all of his movies, Bertolucci asks for nearly everything from his actors, and every time, it never fails. Clothes come flying off. I always seem to respond very positively to art house films that veer towards pornography. It's not because I get a thrill out of it. There is something so powerful and intimate about sex on film. Sex is the most private, vulnerable state of the human experience. Through the sheets, we see our characters completely unravel. Granted you have to be a good actor for this to work. If this were entirely the case, than every porn movie would be up for an Oscar.
braddugg One of the sexiest films that pays tribute to films and film buffs.Aficionados is a rather nice term of a buff as I learnt through movie many years ago. Firstly, thanks to my friend Raghuveer who let me know of this film and since that happened nearly 5 years ago, I watched it multiple times. When I revisited this film yesterday, I loved the whole of it again. A film buff (Mathew) in Paris meets friends, a brother (Theo) and a sister (Isabelle) and they talk films, make out and face reality.It's a movie that makes a comment on how different is life from movies, we just can't be dreaming for a better world, dreaming about movies, living movies. Reality is a choice while in movies, the actors have choice. The last scene is all about that is what I believe.Set in 1968 and mostly shot indoors, the art direction is good nevertheless and the cinematography sets the mood perfectly. Camera takes it's time for making us settle to the characters which are idiosyncratic and Matthew seems to be trying in touch with reality while Isabelle (Eva Green) claims herself to be purist and thus, does not even watch TV. Theo is another film buff and he is an introvert as it seems, he rarely gets out and is stuck with his sister most of the time. The music plays it's part in bringing the sound of 1968 alive, and though this si set in Paris, we hear to English songs more than the French. Now, on the whole this movie seems to be actually more about the sexual tension between the three characters than about their passion for films, as I figured out. It can also be termed as incestuous as brother and sister have fun too. There are lot many scenes, not one that point out their tension and what they desire from each other, yes there are scenes about their favourite movies, like who is good, Keaton or Chaplin and glimpses of few very old good movies, even French movies and about Truffaut too, but all are just leads to what happens between the three. Surprisingly, when their parents find out that the three have 'made out' they stick to silence and that surprised me each time I saw this and has now made me realise that it's the best thing they can do.All in all, it's a great film by Bernardo Bertolucci and a 4/5 would be apt for the sexiest tribute to films, just wish it was more about films than sex.
