Francois Ozon, Director
2009 | 90 min | Feature
Throughout his career, French filmmaker François Ozon has confounded expectations. In his tenth feature, Ozon shifts tone from gritty realism to allegorical fantasy as he adapts a Rose Tremain story about Katie (Alexandra Lamy), a stressed factory worker living with her 7-year-old daughter. With a cool, unromantic eye, Ozon charts the family's shifting dynamics as Katie begins an affair with a fellow employee (Sergi Lopez), has a child, and confronts the realization that despite appearances, the newest addition to the household is no angel.
