The tumultuous political landscape of Paris in 1968 serves as the backdrop for a tale about three young cineastes who are drawn together through their passion for film. Matthew, an American exchange student, pursuing his education abroad in Paris, becomes friends with a French brother and sister duo, named Theo and Isabelle, who share a common love of the cinema. While the May 1968 Paris student riots--which eventually shut down most of the French government--are happening around them, the three friends develop a relationship unlike anything Matthew has ever experienced, or will ever encounter again.

My Review:
If you want to see lots of sex and incest, this movie RAWKS! Kidding.. well.. not really kidding, but there was a lot more to the movie then brother/sister masturbation sessions. I love the references to old movies and Michael, Eva and Louis were amazing with eachother. Ps. I choose Chaplin.
Rating:
4/5
