I wish I never watched this movie, I cannot express in words how much I hate it. I don’t know who needs to hear this but this isn’t the edgy, progressive film you think it is. This felt far too much like the sex fantasy of any male film student. It’s like Bertolucci didn’t want to make porn, so he tried to make it pseudo intellectual. You know the director is male by the fact that Eva Green is naked 90% of the time, and Bertolucci got rid of the gay content that was originally present in the novel that this movie is based on, had it been lesbian, I’m sure he would have filled the movie with lots of lesbian scenes. I'm sure the intentions of the original novel, _The Holy Innocents_, are far more sophisticated than … well, sex scenes between three young, attractive people. Because _The Dreamers_ is just a long and overdrawn porno, using a social revolution as a backdrop, so that the movie should be important. The three characters think they are communists leading the revolution from the comfort of their big Parisian apartment. They have only one personality trait - pretentiousness - boo hoo look at us, we're 3 rich kids who have sex, spend our parents’ money on wine and cigarettes (SO unique, you see), read poetry and using film quotes to try to proof themselves as philosophical, mysterious, and superior to other people (_‘film people are just so special and different’_). _The Dreamers_ is the kind of film that one day a dude will mansplain to you how you're too stupid to understand how deep it is.

I just watched The Dreamers again fifteen years later and I loved it so much. I was the proganonists' age when it was released so probably nostalgia has a big impact but anyway, I think the film captures a moment in time (both in history and in the characters' lifes) so well. The love of cinema, the music, the revolution, the experimentation and the heartbreak... it all comes together in an explosion of cool. That "Bande à part" homage sequence for God's sake! Bertolucci and Pitt were on top of their game. They don't make them like this anymore :_)

I went into this because I wanted to see some of Eva´s early work. If you like her you won´t be dissapointed. Otherwise you really have to have a certain taste for this kind of movie. Heck, I´m not even sure what to call this kind of movie. So please forgive me for rating this "weak sauce" but I got absolutely zilch out of it.

It starts well, and the movies thing are good too, but when stay at home not so much, Eva Green is very hot

Cinema and sex in May 1968.
