François Ozon - Collection of Short Films

Excellent

Bought because I loved L'Amant Double. But this is just terrible. Every one of these films holds something disgusting such as poo in the toilet, anal-sex and a young girl's period blood. Like a trashy/porno/Gay Rohmer film. What is wrong with this director?

good short films

As usual, here is a beautifully packaged dvd from the BFI with extensive and illustrated notes. These are the early films of Ozon, which I prefer to his later and curent ones, but the themes that run through his work are all there in some form. My highlights are Regarde La Mer and Une robe d'ete, but they all have their moments and demonstrate Ozon's ambitious and intriguing filmmaking approach. Find out if you like Ozon before you buy or else you might be disappointed!

Ozon is a major director. All these short films are excellent and the first one absolutely terrifying, like an alarming pre-echo of In the House. But there are no duds. Go see.
