Maybe I just can’t help like a film about film lovers that references a ton of other great films but after just finishing The Dreamers I have to say I loved it. So lets put aside the film lover aspect because all of us here are bias. The relationship between Isabelle and Theo and Matthew and each of their individual relationships are just astonishing to watch. Isabelle and Theo are so enticing to Matthew but he struggles with them due to their strange, childish, and in my values just plain wrong relationship. What works so perfectly is we as the audience feel the same way. Isabelle is beautiful and says the day she was born was when she saw Breathless, I’m sorry call me shallow but as a film lover I’m ready to marry her. And I don’t share the sexual attraction that Matthew had for Theo but still a friend who could argue with me over Chaplin vs Keaton and Hendrix vs Clapton is pretty cool. I want to love these characters but it is just so hard due to their inappropriate behavior towards one another, which is similar to what Matthew goes through. I really enjoyed watching these characters interact and struggle with their feelings.
