renatoborda 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.

Fahad Ibne Fahian After watching the movie, a question is circling around my mind. I'm wondering the most about is, why did Isabelle start screaming for Theo all of a sudden while she was going to do it with Matthew? She even pretended like she didn't know Matthew at all, as like was a stranger! Does anybody know the answer?

ravidubey16 there is some mystery attraction in the direction, Bernardo Bertolucci direction will keep you hooked all the time, this boggling movie portrays difficult emotions so well; you will just get involved in it. We have difficulty in understanding ourselves and our emotions, 3 young characters with a different ideology, some messed up thoughts are struggling to adapt to reality but parallelly accepting it, this irony is so well crafted and displayed making is surely watch for deep cinema lovers.If you are looking for mere entertainment avoid it, if interested to watch some piece classic movie making go for it..

SnoopyStyle It's 1968. Matthew (Michael Pitt) is an American student in Paris to study French. He ends up spending his free time watching French cinema. He meets twins Théo (Louis Garrel) and Isabelle (Eva Green) at the Cinémathèque Française protesting the firing of Henri Langlois by the government. Matthew stays with them while their parents are away. They spend all their time together and then the student riots begin.This was the first thing I saw from Eva Green and she is completely magnetic. She owns the screen. She even exceeded the veteran at the time Michael Pitt. It's a big debut. The mixing with the old film clips would have been great except I recognize only a few of them. This meanders too much for me. It's lazy hazy summer of love.
