The Dreamers

I love this movie. It reminds me how important it is to surround yourself with the right people. The people that truly care about you and push you in being your true self.

Terrific sex.

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 :_)

There are only proofs of love; love consists in the action of it; it consists in the feeling (sorry).

Yet, it would have been better to sleep, perhaps, to dream.

A very sexually open and intriguing film packed with filmic references which was exciting to say the least if you love movies. It is a roller coaster of a film that pushes the boundaries of propriety. How far is too far? How much is too much? Will you jump down the rabbit hole or merely climb in so you can know the way to climb back out again? Worth a watch if you don't mind that sort of thing.

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

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.

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 first saw this as a teenager when I knew nothing about European cinema. Almost 2 decades later and this film is far more enjoyable when you are familiar with Bertolucci's work and influences.
