Director: François Ozon,
Starring: Hélène Vincent, Josiane Balasko
France, 2024, 1 hour 43 minutes, French + English subtitles
Ever-inventive, French auteur François Ozon (8 Women, Swimming Pool, Potiche, Frantz) returns with a twisty, bittersweet story about age, youth, the past and the art of breaking the rules.
In a picturesque Burgundy village, Michelle is enjoying what looks like blissful rural retirement close to her old friend Marie-Claude. But tensions with the younger generation – between Michelle and her own hostile daughter and the return of Marie-Claude’s scoundrel of a son – cause ructions.
A straightforward character portrait and tense drama with a thriller element turns into something else as secrets from the past make their way to the surface. Elegant, slippery storytelling, daring tonal shifts and a wonderful lead performance from Vincent make this a delightful offering.
