Touted in many circles as a response to
The Dreamers (2003) --
Bernardo Bertolucci's ode to Paris in May 1968 --
Philippe Garrel's
Regular Lovers (aka
Les Amants Réguliers) explores the same events cinematically but undertakes a wholly unique aesthetic and temporal approach. The director follows his central characters, a young man named
François and his clique of friends, as they experience the aftermath of the events and grapple with their attempts to understand what has just occurred.
Garrel's familiarity with
The Dreamers came by default; his son,
Louis, starred in that earlier work, and plays
François in this film.
