Our take

Three decades after Last Tango in Paris, cinema’s preeminent sensualist Bernardo Bertolucci returned to the city of love for this erotic ode to the French New Wave. Starring Eva Green, Michael Pitt, and Louis Garrel, The Dreamers finds cinephilic exhilaration amid the political tempest of May 1968.
