The Dreamers (2003)

"There is perhaps no living filmmaker who moves his camera with such exquisite, expressive grace." - The New York Times

Directed by Bernardo Bertolucci 

An American exchange student in Paris, besotted by the cinema, takes up residence with a brother and sister he meets at the Cinémathèque Française. He enters with them into a rapturous existence of artistic debates and sexual games, as the student revolts of 1968 teem in the streets below. Analyzing his subjects with a shrewd but forgiving eye, Bertolucci implicitly posits the uneasy fulcrum that sensuality can represent between the personal and the political.
