Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

nshdnn Beautiful cinematography and editing that seamlessly cut between the main character's banter and the cinematic nostalgia of older films. thoroughly enjoyed the fine threading between the dreamlike perspectives of the characters and the dreamy cinematic extracts. bertolucci was able to successfully portray the characters so tastefully despite their unconventional and eccentric characteristics. this is a movie i can watch over and over again and be completely enthralled and impressed by every time. the actors carried their characters handsomely and the execution of the entire film was splendid! one of my favourite films!

renatoborda In the spring of 1968, three planets -- Sex, Politics and the Cinema -- came into alignment and exerted a gravitational pull on the status quo. In Paris, what began as a protest over the ouster of Henri Langlois, the legendary founder of the Cinematheque Francais, grew into a popular revolt that threatened to topple the government. There were barricades in the streets, firebombs, clashes with the police, a crisis of confidence. In a way that seems inexplicable today, the director Jean-Luc Godard and his films were at the center of the maelstrom. Other New Wave directors and the cinema in general seemed to act as the agitprop arm of the revolution.

inioi Two words it could describe this movie: "Beautifully Shocking".The film is constantly moving between opposite poles, as is normal in youth, which is displayed as it is: tough, wild, contradictory ..... and beautiful.The events occurred in the Paris of 1968, where glamor and intellectualism went hand in hand. That was a time of change in which culture was still strong enough to get people out to the streets to demonstrate. Beyond all this, Bertolucci focuses on how young people are discovering each other, with a capacity of wonder, freshness, intelligence, ingenuity, sensuality that adults usually do not have.  The movie has that unmistakable flavor of the experience of youth which leaves its mark and is never forget.9,5/10

FedRev Set against the backdrop of the 1968 student riots in Paris, The Dreamers is a film of political and sexual awakening during a time when a spirit of revolution was in the air. Matthew is an American exchange student who meets two siblings, Theo and Isabelle, shortly after arriving in Paris. The trio bonds over a shared love for cinema, and the film is laced with numerous references to film classics and the French New Wave, making it in some ways a film about film. But it's also a film about revolution and breaking established social boundaries. Living in a large house while the sibling's parents are away, the three central characters engage in ideological struggle that reflects the social turmoil going on outside. Theo is a Maoist who supports the student's radical demonstrations while Matthew believes their efforts are futile. Simultaneously Matthew and Isabelle develop a sexual relationship that Theo must come to terms with. In the end, the varying ideologies of the characters come to a head and they are each forced to make a choice about the direction of their lives. The film is passionate and alive with a revolutionary spirit, and at the decisive moment, it upholds a radical approach. Michael Pitt, Eva Green, and Louis Garrel each turn in exceptional and brave performances in this film that is directed with subtly and nuance by Bernardo Bertolucci.
