The main character, played by Michael Pitt, goes to Paris to begin his young adult life, and stumbles upon a very unusual brother/sister duo (Luis Garrel, Eva Green). This movie has great music, beautiful scenery, and an enticing story line. Heads up on the bathtub scene....perfection :)
The Dreamers also gives homage to Jean-Luc Godard's 1964 film, Bande à part.
I'll leave you with a quote from the film: "I was one of the insatiables. The ones you'd always find sitting closest to the screen. Why do we sit so close? Maybe it was because we wanted to receive the images first. When they were still new, still fresh. Before they cleared the hurdles of the rows behind us. Before they'd been relayed back from row to row, spectator to spectator; until worn out, secondhand, the size of a postage stamp, it returned to the projectionist's cabin. Maybe, too, the screen was really a screen. It screened us... from the world."
