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.
Levado às telonas anteriormente em Mulheres Diabólicas de Chabrol, o cineasta Ozon adapta a romancista criminal Ruth Rendell neste suspense erótico estiloso. Estrelando Romain Duris, Uma Nova Amiga é um melodrama complexo com um enredo duplo, interrogando elegantemente os papéis dos gêneros.
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.
