The Dreamers

Bernardo Bertolucci’s latest is The Dreamers, about which I wrote a little recently. Now I’ve finally got to see the film.
Set in 1968 Paris, Matthew is an American student and cinephile who’s befriended by twins Isabelle and Theo. He moves in with them in their wonderful Parisien flat. And then things take a turn for the… well… stranger. Isabelle and Theo’s relationship is not quite as most brother/sister relationships are. A step away from incestuous would be accurate.
The film doesn’t really go anywhere, and the ending is ultimately unsatisfying, but as movie for cineastes, it takes some beating. Wonderful music too.
But why was there a “thank you” to the Isle of Jura in the credits? Is someone a big whisky drinker?
