UK Premiere of 4K Restoration: The Dreamers

It’s 1968 and Matthew, an American student, arrives in Paris. When he moves in with Theo and Isabelle, siblings with an unusually liberal relationship, the trio bond over a mutual love of cinema, discussing auteur cinema against the tumult of student protests and a world seemingly consumed by violence. Bertolucci’s loose adaptation of Gilbert Adair’s novel is a riveting, poignant and erotically charged evocation of an era and the cinema that defined it.

Restored in 4K in 2023 by courtesy of Cineteca di Bologna in collaboration with Recorded Picture Company at L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory, using the original negative. Restored under the aegis of Bernardo Bertolucci Foundation.
