The whole story is about three young students who are in Paris: two are French and are brothers, the third is an American and is doing an exchange After watching this movie I got the feeling that the strongest point of it is the participation of Eva Green, in her first movie by coincidence. … ExpandĪfter watching this movie I got the feeling that the strongest point of it is the participation of Eva Green, in her first movie by coincidence. All others, be prepared for a marginally interesting watch. Those who are squeamish about sex/nudity should pass. Beautifully filmed and masterfully crafted with some young actors doing superb work under difficult circumstances with plenty of graphic nudity and sex, "The Dreamers" will play best with aficionados of French cinema, Bertolucci fans, etc. Less than engaging and much less than compelling, "The Dreamers" immerses itself in the esoterics of the place and time to the exclusion of anyone who wasn't there then. There's little plot to this slice of young adult life flick which seems to be more of a Bertolucci pet project than a commercial product for the masses. Two are brother (Garrel) and sister (Green) identical twins (or so we're told) who have an almost metaphysical bond and the third is an interloper (Pitt) who falls in lust with the sister. "The Dreamers" is all about three young adult upscale hippy types who languish in a flat in Paris in the late 60's and talk about cinema, politics, sex, and other stuff while sharing some first experiences.
