    Two positive and negative main bodies and one appendage generate magnetic reactions in small spots in a large environment. Bertolucci is a left-wing director and communist, and at the same time a master of expressing the love relationship between men and women, the original novel should be very similar to the collection of themes of his previous film works.

The Dreamers quotes

  • Matthew: [voice over] We hardly left the apartment any more. We didn't know or care if it was day or night. We felt as if we were drifting out to sea, leaving the world far behind us.

  • Isabelle: Theo and I never watch television. We're purest. Purest of the pure.
