The Dreamers is murky, chaotic, and lost in meaning yet has more coherence than
Last Tango in Paris.
The problem is the way the film fell apart right after the revelation of the paradoxical premise. I wanted
to see where it would lead to, but a cul-de-sac was what I got.
The acting ranges from good to fair and from bad to overdone. Sexually, the three young adults are less restrained when it
comes to showing off their bodies than Marlon Brando would ever attempt to.
All in all, for a Bernardo Bertolucci picture, I expected more in The Dreamers, but it fell flat.
