SIMAS C @simas_eros 4 days ago A film featuring aesthetic references to various works of art—including sculpture, painting, cinema, and theater—that centers on a somewhat incestuous relationship between a brother and sister during the 1968 revolution in France. The pair befriend an American student, and together they exchange ideas on the theme of freedom. Heavily inspired by the "avant-garde" cinema of Godard and Truffaut, the dialogue consists primarily of philosophical musings that lead nowhere. Beautifully directed, the film propelled Eva Green to stardom, thanks in part to her daring scenes. See more Robert P @Superbad Sep 23, 2026 The Dreamers = a *3.5* star Movie! See more Juris O @Juris100 Jul 20, 2026 The movie is great but a bit boring. See more Chris M. @pianoman58 Mar 28, 2026 It's pretty graphic sexually, but doesn't feel exploitative at all. The script is entertaining, the acting feels natural. Loved all the cinematic references. A much better watch than, say, Gasoar Noe's "Love".

They are a triad of poets of the body who inhabit the cinema because the street is a cemetery of bureaucrats. It is a visual poem that gives your soul a lick, though it forces you to digest that bourgeois aestheticism—that reminder that to be a dreamer, one must first have the bills paid. The triad needs the Molotov to be thrown in order to bring the revolution of art and life into praxis; a key piece for understanding desire as the principle of freedom.

It was also the time of sexual experimentation and kink, the "Sexual Revolution," which this movie portrays excellently. See more Read all reviews
