The Dreamers: Bertolucci's Ode to Paris '68

This movie is an homage to Betolucci's youth spent in Paris in '68 during the student upheavals over the French Cinema, the Viet Nam War, and the Red Movement. This is framed by three coolege students: two fraternal twins (Eva Green & Louis Garrel) and a lone American (Michael Pitt) who meet at a demonstration and strike up a strange relationship. The threesome end up spending a month in the twin's parent's apartment and live a bizarre, closed in life of games and secrets. As the movie continues on you become just a bit fatigued until Eva Green appears naked for the first time. Breathtaking at the least.

Eva continues on in various states of undress for the rest of the film and it would be most beneficial to install a windshield wiper on your screen or you will never see the end.

Bertolucci mixes documentary footage with his film to provide an accurate depiction of events during that time in Paris.

Released in 2003, this was Green's first film role and she proved at the tender age of 23 she is not shy. (Boy do they grow up fast over there.)
