The Dreamers : Anyone else feel…
Re: Anyone else feel…
Why was it perverted? Was anyone being exploited or abused? Was there any violence or depiction of grisly mutilation? Was there an imbalance of power?
The answer to these questions is no. The Dreamers is an art film. As such, it extends the boundaries of ordinary expectations of a romantic film. If you find depictions of homosexuality or consensual incest between adults to be repugnant, that is your right. You are entitled to avoid watching them if you wish. But those depictions in themselves are not obscene.

Re: Anyone else feel…
Don't guess! Make a decision.

Re: Anyone else feel…
actually there is no incest in the movie.Theo and Isabelle were together even before they were born,they purely love each other and don't want to be separeted that's all
Re: Anyone else feel…
I guess you never read "Les enfants terribles" by Jean Cocteau (first published in 1929) or "The Cement Garden" by Ian McEwan. I haven't read the latter myself yet, but I can tell you that the novel "The Holy Innocents" as well as the screenplay of "The Dreamers" drew heavily on Cocteau's novel, the way the relationship between Theo and Isabelle is portrayed. Of course their relationship is emotionally unhealthy - it is meant to be.

No we didn't. There is nothing obscene in the movie.
