But while none of them gets a job or finds any other source of income, their money woes are never mentioned again. Their emotions are so capricious and fleeting that Isabelle can be suicidal one minute and the next inappropriately giddy about joining a Molotov-cocktail-throwing student march.Д«ertolucci has a penchant for art-house sensuality ('Last Tango in Paris,' 'Stealing Beauty'), but the nascent superficiality of these characters' impulsive psyches makes it difficult to invest yourself in their lives - especially when the director distracts from the film's unpredictable passions with narrative inconsistencies.ДЄt one point he goes out of his way to show that the salacious threesome is desperate and destitute, having burned through the money left by the twins' parents. And as Matthew eventually comes to realize, what looks to an outsider like excitingly wayward worldliness in the twins is really a form of arrested development. It's Matthew's price for losing at the twins' favorite game of movie-scene charades, in which forfeit apparently always has a sexual price.Д«ut the film's casually edgy eroticism and constant allusions to old movies (Bertolucci shows the relevant clips as the new friends race through the Louvre a la 'Bande ГЎ part' and chant 'One of us! One of us!' a la 'Freaks') are in many ways a mask for the fact that Matthew, Theo and Isabelle aren't especially interesting people, except to each other. Seduced by the siblings' outwardly uninhibited aimlessness - which seems to him more exotic than his own by nature of being French and involving lots of cigarettes - Matthew engages the easily riled brother in vague, circular political debates, and engages the enticing sister in sex, initially at her brother's insistence. The narrating young drifter named Matthew (pouty, ambiguous Michael Pitt from 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch') answers the siren song of Isbelle (Eva Green) and Theo (Louis Garrel), a pair of alluringly charismatic, possibly incestuous fraternal twins who invite the American to live in their large, labyrinthine flat for the summer while their bourgeoisie, former poet-bohemian parents are away on holiday. The last five minutes of Bernardo Bertolucci's 'The Dreamers' is a sublimely spot-on graduation for its main character, an unripe American student on a proverbial journey of self-discovery in this erotic drama set against the backdrop of the 1968 Paris riots.Д«ut in the preceding five reels, there isn't much I'd call compelling in its story of a trio of 20-year-old bohemian wannabe-intellectuals who have yet to be comfortable with their own identities, yet frequently launch into polemic and nebulously philosophical pontifications about politics and movies. Young American drifter is seduced by sexy French brother and sister in '60s self-discovery saw 'The Dreamers' Give it your undivided attention if you want to have any chance of seeing what Bertolucci wants you to see. This film's intimacy won't come across as well on the small screen.
