The Dreamers (2003)
Country: FR/GB/IT/US
Technical: col 115m
Director: Bernardo Bertolucci
Cast: Michael Pitt, Eva Green, Louis Garrel, Robin Renucci, Anna Chancellor
Synopsis:
An American cinephile student in Paris at the time of the 'événements' in 1968 falls in with a pair of enfants terribles and spends a month in their apartment, bonking, enacting film-inspired pranks, and drinking the father's expensive claret. Just occasionally he attempts to bring them back to the real world.
Review:
Perhaps the most self-conscious line in this highly pointed movie comes when a stone is lobbed through the living room window and the girl observes: 'The street just entered the apartment.' What disappoints, slightly, is the little time spent examining the issues behind the student demonstrations (never mind the cinephile in-jokes, if one knew little about May 68 one wouldn't know a whole lot more after watching this.) Which need not be the film's agenda, of course, though the antics of the youngsters, complete with incestuous and homoerotic undertones, quickly pall.
