Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Dreamers (2003) is a lush exploration of youth and cinephilia set against the backdrop of the 1968 Paris student riots. The film examines the tension between a trio of cinephiles' isolated, film-obsessed world and the political revolution, ultimate forcing a transition from idealism to reality. For further context, including 1960s French political documents and film theory, explore the collections at the Internet Archive.
