Sébastien Pouderoux

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.

In a touching and graceful tale of modern motherhood and romance, Virginie Efira plays a woman of boundless compassion—and is as radiant as ever. Embracing love in various heart-stealing guises, Rebecca Zlotowski’s fifth feature also has a delightful cameo from adoptive Parisian, Frederick Wiseman!
