Water Drops on Burning Rocks

Maribou

A blast of Fassbinder's ice-cold misanthropy blows through this tale of assymetric desire and exploitation. Deftly transformed by François Ozon into a delightfully arch, well-paced, stylised little gem of a farce. My black heart loved it.

Wee Hunk

Very sexy. Giradeau is quite believable as the ultimate seducer and abandoner. You can tell it was written by Fassbinder because it understands the power games people play.

Jeremiah Johnson

Leopold is the ultimate alpha male - enjoyed the character and how strange the story is.

Sneerwell

That is a real Ozon, with sex, rosy-cheeked youth, gay theme and queer songs. Dazzling.

not sayin' it's the best movie ever but I dug it. The melding of Ozon and Fassbinder occassionally mutates into a Betrand Blier film and I mean that as a compliment. I wanna live in the heartbreaking logic of the world of this film.

The film tries to be edgy, sexy, cheeky... but it is none of those things. Despite some beautiful colours and pitch-perfect portrait poses, I was bored for most of the time due to 4 silly characters that were just acting out like fools. The role of Léopold was completely miscast, the actor gave me zero daddy feels. I'm an Ozon fan, but for me this was a flop.

It's always delightful to watch Ozon's characters living on screen - although these are actually Fassbinder's. I pretty much love the casting choices - those four are so yummy to watch: it's like wathcing the pain of love and commitment through four beautiful creatures: that being said, this film lacks alittle depth to me.

One of the first Ozon films I can remember seeing. Interesting mix of Ozon and Fassbinder. Worth seeing a few times. It was a stage play, and I think it would be better off preformed on stage. Be that as it may: it's not a bad film.
