Dreamers, The

Aroview: Decadent youth drama set in politically turbulent Paris of 1968, in which a young American film-buff is drawn into an intense, peculiar relationship with an over-privileged brother-sister couple.

Saturated in the romance of cinema, nostalgia, and 'Euro-chic', art-house elder statesman Bertolucci never works up more than a superficial view of his bratty “dreamers”, who quite literally sprawl naked before his camera, ‘borrow’ their personalities from French cinema history, and pay lip service to the politics of the time.
