Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
A love letter to movies (and the French new wave of the 1960s in particular), Bernardo Bertolucci's The Dreamers starts with a 1968 riot outside of a Parisian movie palace then burrows into an insular love triangle. Matthew (Michael Pitt, Hedwig and the Angry Inch), an expatriate American student, bonds with a twin brother and sister, Isabelle (Eva Green) and Theo (Louis Garrel), over their mutual love of film--they not only quote lines of dialogue, they act out small bits and challenge each other to name the cinematic source. Matthew suspects the twins of incest, but that doesn't stop him from falling into his own intimacies with Isabelle. As the threesome becomes threatened, Paris succumbs to student riots. The Dreamers aspires to be kinky, but the results are more decorative than decadent; nonetheless, the movie's lively energy recalls the careless and vital exuberance of Godard and Truffaut. --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - A strange and beautiful movie
The Dreamers is a very unusual movie, telling the story of a pair of French twins, Isabelle and Theo (Eva Green & Louis Garrel), who invite an American student, Matthew (Michael Pitt) to stay with them in their Paris apartment. Attracted to them first by a shared interest in the cinema, Matthew is soon drawn into the twins' incestuous relationship. To gain a full appreciation of the movie, including its historical background (set in the 1960's at the time of the student riots in Paris, and related ... Read More
Rating:  - The Dreamers
Very unusual, erotic, graphic film. Eva Green (current " Bond Girl"), is beautiful, sexy and plays an incredible role, making her character believable. Never liked Michael Pitt, but he did well in this.
Rating: - Eye Candy
I actually really enjoyed this movie. The plot is good, the scenes are vivid and realistic, and while the writing is a bit lacking, the acting is actually very good. Much of the story didn't really make a whole lot of sense, and the relationship between the brother and sister is really never fleshed out. But, oh, my, to spend much of the movie viewing Eva Green disrobed is, well, worth the price of the dvd.
Rating: - Everything you'd expect from Bertolucci
Ah, NC-17. Possibly one of the dumber ratings out there. The concept is great! Tag movies, like this, that aren't made for kids but are for an adult audience, with a rating that keeps kids away. In principle this is great! In execution, it's been deeply flawed. Newspapers won't advertise films with this rating, most reviewers won't review them, and studios won't generally allow them to be released. It's to the credit of Fox that they allowed this rather nice little movie to be put out uncut (though one ... Read More
Rating: - Perfect end
The ending is perfect, while I was watching, I was hoping that this film would not self-destruct with a cliched ending. I won't give it away, but Mathew's final interaction with Theo and Isabelle grabbed me with its sincerity and its reality, how no good thing seems to ever last. My favorite
book about Kama Sutra is a perfect march with this movie Sex and the Perfect Lover: Tao, Tantra, and the Kama Sutra
