Here’s a mea culpa from yours truly. I have to be honest with you. Several years ago, I bought the movie THE DREAMERS. I also watched it. It’s a pretentious movie about pretentious twits living in France in the pretentious 60s. (I think it was the 60s.) A set of incestuous brother and sister twins and an American dweeb. They sit around and talk politics and have sex. That’s it. That’s the plot of the movie. Directed by pretentious director Bernardo Bertolucci, who is most famous for the pretentious x-rated flick LAST TANGO IN PARIS (I also, unfortunately, once saw another of his pretentious films, STEALING BEAUTY), THE DREAMERS is about as far from being my kind of movie as you can get. I HATE that sort of movie. They’re even worse than Rom-Coms. They’re so damn boring. And did I mention they’re pretentious?
Why, then, did I buy it and watch it? Because it’s an NC-17 film and Eva Green spends most of the movie completely naked. There. I admitted it. Yeah, I’m a pig. At least I’m an honest pig. But Ms. Green is so much more than a nice set of boobies (not that they aren’t nice) and a pretty face. She is also a phenomenally talented actress. Her collective work in PENNY DREADFUL constitutes her best efforts, in my opinion, but she has delivered numerous Oscar-worthy performances elsewhere. She is seriously underrated in Hollywood as a whole, and that’s a shame. It’s also a shame that so many people see only the boobs and the face. Hey, I admitted I’m a pig, alright, but at least I’m capable of appreciating her TALENT, too!
I completely agree! Just not about the boobies. I don’t care about the boobies
