Movie Review: 'The Dreamers'

When filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci made Last Tango in Paris in 1972, it garnered an X rating. Thirty-two years later, his new film The Dreamers received an NC-17, which means much the same thing. NPR's Bob Mondello says the film is as sexy as you might expect -- but also wistful and sweet.
