I love this movie so much

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Awesome Movie

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

This movie always give me the chills. It's SO well acted, directed, the soundtrack is great,... It's just different, I don't know how to say it. It's not an 'average Joe' kind of movie. I really dare to say it is art. The only sad thing is that I don't really understand what it's actually about, there isn't a consensus. Apart from that, it's one of my favorite movies.

As a objective viewer (as I have never seen a Bertolucci film) I found it a needlessly long film making a documentary about the life of 2 brothers and a friend, all carefree young adults living off the money of the parents of the 2 brothers and doing nothing all day long, set in the background of France during the student's riots. Aside from that, it has no plot, little to no romance, lots of explicit scenes of nudity, incest and nonsense scenes.

In the spring of 1968, three planets -- Sex, Politics and the Cinema -- came into alignment and exerted a gravitational pull on the status quo. In Paris, what began as a protest over the ouster of Henri Langlois, the legendary founder of the Cinematheque Francais, grew into a popular revolt that threatened to topple the government. There were barricades in the streets, firebombs, clashes with the police, a crisis of confidence. In a way that seems inexplicable today, the director Jean-Luc Godard and his films were at the center of the maelstrom. Other New Wave directors and the cinema in general seemed to act as the agitprop arm of the revolution.

After watching this movie I got the feeling that the strongest point of it is the participation of Eva Green, in her first movie by coincidence. The whole story is about three young students who are in Paris: two are French and are brothers, the third is an American and is doing an exchange to learn the country's language. Chemistry between them is intensified by their interest by cinema. From then on, the film beggins a series of debates (a little insipid to normal public but curious to the experts and movie-goers) about cinema, with cameos and tributes to several films and actors. Here, sometimes, its necessary to know cinema and to have some cinematic culture in order to follow everything. Then, as the events of May '68 take place, the three are getting more and more intimately involved. Sex is a structural part of the story from the beginning, its introduced very well by the sensuality and eroticism of Eva Green and isn't ugly or sinful, as in many films usually ends up becoming. However, full nudity scenes are many, can hurt sensibilities of more modest audiences and advise discretion before watch the movie.This film is about revolutions, hopes, yearnings, dreams, sex and cinema. Everything is mixed, everything is a vehicle for dreaming, for the estrangement of reality. But if it weren't for the absolutely fantastic performance of Eva Green, seductive, strong and mysterious, the film would not have half the interest or quality it has.
