As a window into the auteur's late - career preoccupation with
adolescent angst, «Bertolucci Makes The Dreamers» is illuminating, bookended as it is by telling quotes («When I'm with these kids, I feel the
same age» and «Maybe I didn't talk enough about young people when I was young») that make one wish Bertolucci would do a film about the vanishing act of youth rather than these pitiful attempts to trap it in a jar.
