For ten weeks, Bertolucci will tell the story of student revolt of May '68 with this story that centres on the friendship between a young American and two French students who all live in the city's famed Latin Quarter.
Bertolucci cast two illustrious newcomers, André Garrel, the son of pre-eminent French director Philippe, and Eva Green with Michael Pitta as the American.
Produced by the U.K.'s Jeremy Thomas,
The Dreamers is scheduled for release next year.
