The Dreamers (Original Uncut NC-17 Version)

Great nudity, poor script and typical French slow pace film!

While many have championed this film as a work of art, I found only the nudity to be interesting. Beyond that, what you have is a typical French film. That means you will get a poor script, very little meaningful dialogue, choppy scenes of random chaos thoughout the film, and long looks at non-moving objects (i.e. messy kitchen) that add nothing to the overall film. While the characters are good-looking, and the nude scenes are great, the film is quite boring and moves too slow for me. The ending is also typical of the French: a dud. The writers and producers of this film fail to tie in for me the life of these young adults and the riots of Paris. I fail to connect their hedonistic lifestyle with the general theme of the outside violence raging through the streets. I didn't hate the film, but it clearly lacked a common thread and smooth transitionary form from scene to scene. I can only give it 3 stars, at best.
