François Ozon

“I think cinema has to deal with desire. In the cinema, you are with a big screen, it is dark, and you watch some images, like a fantasy, so I think it is important for you to feel desire for what you see.”

    SUMMER OF 85

    FRANÇOIS OZON France, 2020

    A ravishing 1980s time capsule, François Ozon’s queer romance whisks us off to the French coast where the sun shines bright and earworms from The Cure and Bananarama are on at full blast. Like the changing ocean tides, the wistful fleetingness of youth only intensifies the passions of first love.

    THE NEW GIRLFRIEND

    FRANÇOIS OZON France, 2014

    Brought to the screen before in Chabrol’s La cérémonie, devilishly adept genre filmmaker Ozon adapts crime novelist Ruth Rendell in this stylish erotic thriller. Starring Romain Duris, The New Girlfriend is a complex melodrama with a pulp double-plot, elegantly interrogating gender roles.

    DOUBLE LOVER

    FRANÇOIS OZON France, 2017

    The stylish and immaculately crafted Double Lover attests to François Ozon’s reputation as a master of the erotic thriller. With daring performances from Marine Vacth and Jérémie Renier, this hallucinatory treat plays its psychosexual games of cat-and-mouse in the spirit of Hitchcock and De Palma.
