No One's called it "The Worst Movie EVER" yet
Thank goodness this film didn't get any media attention like "Lost in Translation" did, otherwise you'd have hoards of brain-dead children calling it "obscene" "gay" and "Anti-American"

Could you imagine if the religious right became aware of it? You would have an overwhelming stench of conservative propganda on your hands; because this film represents everything they're against--morally, politically, and ethically. But this is a wonderful film, full of homages to cinema and to the kids who grew up with it as an art form and a revolution. It's also about the shattering of sexual taboos and how it may or may not lead to permanent change.

I saw this on a college campus with a few squeamish kids. If you feel strongly against sexuality in general, I advise you to avoid this. If you're curious about it but prone to embarassment, then rent it and watch it alone. Do not watch this edited or else you'll lose the full scope of Bertolucci's work.

Film buffs need not read the above statement. They already know better :)

Incredible
It's been a long time since I watch such a good movie,
perfectly done from the story to the actress.

There is so much movies and so few that reach directly to your heart, the new Bertolucci's film is one of them.

a movie for anyone with passion
bertolucci has really outdone himself by mastering the essential ideals of filmmaking. taken from the book, the dreamers as a story alone inhibits so much fantasy, however when put in action upcoming independent film star, michael pitt (hewig & the angry inch) cinches the camera with ease. set in france in the 1960's a set of once siamese twins, isabelle & theo, fall in love with the local cinematheque where they meet the american venturer matthew. escaping vietnam, matthew (pitt) becomes encompassed
by the twins and their unusual relationship as well as lifestyle. using clips from films such as tod brownings 'freaks' bertolucci amplifies each scene and mindset of the characters as they act out a sequence before they must pay the forfeight. these lude acts of humiliation are what slaps the nc-17 rating on the film, however the marvel of the actual plot takes precedence over the nudity. this is definitely a movie is for anyone who has passion for anything.
