| The Dreamers Review |
| by Ryan Ellis |
| Bernardo Bertolucci has not come a long way since 'Last Tango In Paris'. The
director's landmark sex drama starring Marlon Brando, Maria Schneider, and a
stick of butter is better than 'The Dreamers' in every way. Perhaps it's not
fair to compare them,...more |

| There's a lot of publicity surrounding The Dreamers. Bernado Bertolucci's
paean to French cinema and politics in 1968, The Dreamers is the first
high-profile NC-17 release since 1997, and suitably so. It's ripe with
nudity and sex and is only suitable...more |

| America is an amazing place. Only here in the land of the free can a film be

| About a ménage à trois, Bernardo Bertolucci's THE DREAMERS is a pretentious,
pointless picture that produces the same can't-look-away effect as seeing a car
wreck. Wisely released as NC-17, this bizarre movie works best, when it works
at all, as a...more |

| Bernardo Bertolucci's "The Dreamers" is two films in
one. One is a brilliant homage to French films and
American musicals, with excerpts from classic
cinematic moments that the filmmaker lovingly
recreates with his stars. Best of these recreations
are...more |
