## Description

From Academy Award®-winning director Bernardo Bertolucci (The Last Emperor, 1987), comes an erotic tale of three young film lovers brought together by their passion for movies -- and each other. When Isabelle and Theo (Eva Green, Louis Garrel) invite Matthew (Michael Pitt) to stay with them, what begins as a casual friendship ripens into a sensual voyage of discovery and desire in which nothing is off limits and anything is possible. Featuring an engaging, seductive cast, The Dreamers is a ?spellbinding, provocative feast!" (Ebert & Roeper)

Review: For those who can appreciate it, a real gem. - This is an amazing movie. If you have been reading any of these reviews I am sure it goes without saying that it is not for everyone so I won't dwell on that. I will address the nudity/sexual aspects of the film up front by simply repeating what many of the other reviews have said: there is certainly nudity, openly sexual scenes, and a variety of taboos explored in varying degrees, but they are presented rather matter-of-fact and not with strong eroticism (though, I admit that for any red-blooded, heterosexual male, even if she were just sorting socks or filling out a tax return, it would be hard to judge any scene with a nude Eva Green as "not erotic"). I believe that the sex primarily reinforces the innocence, or naivete, of the twins' -- Isabelle and Theo's -- private universe where they, as spoiled child-adults, endulge any desire or whim. This is in contrast to the anger and intensity which dominates their pretense at social-activism, driven by simple-minded reaction (war -- bad) to the turbulent times (the 60's). But they are just two sides to the same coin -- they truly are "Dreamers", detached from reality by a wall of denial. When anything happens which forces them to deal with reality, such as having the true nature of their relationship discovered by their parents, the results are not pretty. (Actually, it is a little ambitious to suggest that their parents discovered the true nature of their relationship when it isn't clear that even they understand the true nature of this confusing mix of polyamory, bisexuality, incest, voyeurism, fraternity, obsession, and just a hint of sadomasochism.) Matthew, the young American student whom they "adopt," is torn between the seductive nature of their universe (including his attraction to and love of Isabelle and Theo) and his own grounding in reality -- though he is as young as they are, he possesses a maturity and true thoughtulness which they lack. So long as they all remain primarily isolated in their apartment, their private universe mostly prevails, but in the end their differences in the "real" world is what tears them apart. The acting is superb throughout -- there is some very impressive work here. The cinematography is also excellent and the use of clips from classic films is brilliant, reinforcing not only the establishment of the characters' love of cinema but also the degree to which these "dreamers" are lost within their fantasies. The ending is amazing and rather abrupt. (mild spoiler alert) It will likely leave most viewers feeling a bit unfulfilled but that fits the movie. The ending likely would leave the characters feeling unfulfilled -- ultimately, no matter how much he wanted to be a part of Isabelle and Theo's universe, Matthew could never remain there. When reality came crashing through, the characters acted according to their nature and their differences severed the bond for good. Some have complained that the film is too slow. It is a bit slow but when doing a character-study, how much "study" is too much? How much is enough? I, personally, was riveted throughout. Those who were not riveted, likely weren't really connecting with the movie anyway and more aggessive editing likely would not have changed that. The movie is not for everyone. The only other Bernardo Bertolucci movie I have seen is "Last Tango in Paris" about which I was not very enthusiastic. It was an impressive film but ultimately I could not buy into the story -- I found the characters and situations ultimately unbelievable and that made all the good things in it difficult to appreciate. The same thing could have happened here -- these characters certainly are not like anyone I know or would even imagine but the acting, the script, and the directing drew me in -- I rather imagine that for many, that was not enough, and they wound up disliking the film as a result. I can't explain why it worked for me and I sure can't say whether it will work for you but the bottom line is, it worked for me. I enjoyed this movie.
Review: A gorgeous 4K release of an underrated film - "The Dreamers" is a 2003 erotic period drama directed by Bernardo Bertolucci from a script by Gilbert Adair who adapted his own novel "The Holy Innocents". The film was notable for being released in the United States uncut with a NC-17 rating due to graphic nudity and explicit albeit simulated sex. The film is mostly a three character study starring Matthew Pitt, Louis Garrel and the stunningly beautiful and sexy Eva Green who was 23 years old at the time of filming. It is a period piece set in 1968 France during student protests featuring silky smooth direction, lush cinematography, a memorable score and potent eroticism throughout. "The Dreamers" received a mixed critical reaction at the time of its original release with some critics accusing Bernardo Bertolucci of exploiting Eva Green and being too focused on sex/nudity at the expense of narrative. The focus on incestuous ambiguity pertaining to the twin siblings portrayed by Louis Garrel & Eva Green also left some viewers feeling icky. The film features both graphic female & male nudity from its three stars with the sex being explicit while stopping short of being pornographic. Eva Green is absolutely hypnotic in this film delivering a nuanced layered performance that is equal parts mysterious and smoldering sensuality. Fans of the gorgeous lady will find a lot to like here as her multiple graphic nude scenes leave absolutely nothing to imagination. "The Dreamers" won't be to everyone's taste but it is one of my favorite films of the last 25 years and one of Bernardo Bertolucci's best in my opinion. Icon Film Distribution brought "The Dreamers" to 4K UHD on May 13, 2024 in a beautiful collector's edition region free 4K/bluray release featuring the uncut and uncensored 115 minute version of the film. It is presented in its original 1.85:1 theatrical aspect ratio in both HDR10 and Dolby Vision on the 4K disc and SDR on the included remastered bluray. I watched the film in 4K Dolby Vision finding the grading to be tasteful in its application and the transfer as a whole to be true to the original cinematography looking wonderfully filmic with a natural layer of film grain present. Flesh tones look accurate which is important considering the sizeable amount of bare flesh on display throughout the film. The framing of the movie with this release has been the subject of some controversy with some people feeling the transfer is off center and not true to the original 1.85:1 theatrical matting. I didn't find anything to be incorrect or odd with the framing. While the widescreen framing of the 4K restoration is notably different than the widescreen DVD that I had owned for several years, I found the new 4K release to be more properly framed than the DVD release but opinions on that may vary. I think fans will be pleased with how wonderful the film looks in 4K. The HDR10 encode looks fantastic in its own right however those who can watch the film in Dolby Vision will be treated to an even more improved & nuanced picture quality than the HDR10 version. This release contains the following information regarding the restoration itself: "The Dreamers (Bernardo Bertolucci, 2003) was restored in 4K by Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna, in collaboration with Recorded Picture Company. The image was restored from the original camera negative preserved at CSC - Cineteca Nazionale. The soundtrack was restored from original masters made available by Recorded Picture Company. The restoration was supervised by Fabio Cianchetti, Director of Photography. The restoration was carried out under the aegis of the Fondazione Bernardo Bertolucci by L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory in 2023." Sound is presented in a choice of lossless 5.1 and 2.0 lossless audio. I thought both tracks sounded clean and balanced. English and French subtitles are included for the hearing impaired. Extras are as follows: - Cinema, Sex and Politics: Bertolucci makes The Dreamers and The Making of The Dreamers - Across two in-depth featurettes, experience how the film was brought to life from script to screen and uncover the real events of 1968 that inspired this remarkable story. Featuring extensive behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with cast and crew - Feature commentary with Bernardo Bertolucci, writer Gilbert Adair and producer Jeremy Thomas - Interviews with Bernardo Bertolucci, Eva Green, Michael Pitt, Louis Garrel, Gilbert Adair and Jeremy Thomas - B-Roll - take a step behind the camera to witness the filmmaking process and iconic sets from a unique perspective - Original trailer and 4K remastered trailer - Also included are four exclusive art cards and an A3 print of the film’s original poster Fans of "The Dreamers" should pick up this 4K release without hesitation. The film has never looked or sounded better than it does here in true 4K. Fans of the luscious & talented actress Eva Green will also find a lot to like here as her extensive graphic nudity leaves all details of her amazing body and perfect face on full display to appreciate and enjoy. As stated earlier, some will find the film to be too focused on the sex and nudity, however I have always found the balance between potent eroticism, character study and narrative to be expertly balanced. Highly recommend!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Devastatingly Beautiful Movie
*by H***E on October 19, 2007*

I will say it again, this is a devastatingly beautiful movie! I love Michael Pitt on principle, so I had to get it but I wasnt entirely sure of how it would pan out once I actually started watching it. But I was pleasantly suprised as I realized, that from the opening scene I was completely engrossed. Paris is beautiful, the cast is beautiful, the dialauge is beautiful, and not to mention witty and intelligent. Matthew(Michael Pitt)is a wide eyed, slightly shy, charming young man who meets Isabelle(Eva Green) and Theo(Louis Garrell) purely by happenstance. Isabelle has mock chained herself to the gates of the cinamatique(the movie theater housed inside a palace) as a riot about the theater is going on outside. She and Matthew immidetly strike up a conversation and when her brother Theo happens along after speaking to the lead rioter, a noticable spark is ignited between the three of them. Within the course of the next few days he has dinner with them, spends the night at their house and then eventually moves in because of the invitation issued to him by Izzy and Theo. The first night he spends there he walks by Theos room and sees them naked in bed together, asleep. He is shocked and confused, as you can tell by the look on his face, but he says nothing about it the next day. Other odd behaviours arise from the Izzy and Theo, such as Izzy licking the sleep out of Matthews eyes, them tag teaming matthew while trying to shave off Matthews pubic hair, and Izzy making Theo jack off in front of them after losing a game. Most people would be repelled by their strangeness, but some how, for some reason, Matthew is drawn to it like a moth to a flame. We find out later that there is a sort of reason behind the Izzy and Theos closeness, the reason being that they are siamese twins. I will say and spoil no more and only encourage you to be open minded and watch this film!! It is definetly on my top ten movies to watch!!
