The Dreamers

di Gilbert Adair (Autore)

Union Square & Company, 2027

A sensual and beguiling 60s Paris-set novel – and the basis of the cult-classic film, revered by the Criterion Collection and Letterboxd communities – for fans of Elaine Kraf’s The Princess of 72nd Street. Paris in the spring of 1968. The spirit of social and political renewal is in the air. Yet Théo, his twin sister Isabelle, and Matthew, an American student, can only think of one activity: moviegoing at the Cinémathèque Française. Night after night, they sit beside their fellow cinephiles in the very front row of the stalls and feast off the images that flicker across the screen. But when the government suddenly closes the Cinémathèque, Théo, Isabelle, and Matthew withdraw into a universe of their own–one of obsessive private games, humiliations, and sexual jousting which finds them shedding their clothes and their inhibitions with equal abandon – a vertiginous free fall interrupted only, and tragically, when the real world succeeds at last in encroaching on their delirium.
