synopsis
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 Guillaume and Danielle, 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.

A French brother and sister and their American friend get naked, smoke dope and debate cinema ("Who's better, Keaton or Chaplin?"). In an explicitly carnal film, the opening scan down the Eiffel Tower over Jimi Hendrix's "Third Stone From the Sun" is the ultimate money shot.
Young Matthew (Michael Pitt) arrives in Paris for a year of French study at the university. His heart, however, is not in his studies so much as in the Cinematheque Français where every night he and countless other cinephiles pack into the theater for the night's screening. When the director of the Cinematheque is fired, students hit the street in protest. It is in this crowd of film-loving students that Matthew first meets Theo (Louis Garrel) and his twin sister Isabelle (Eva Green). Theo and…
