SYNOPSIS

After the death of her best friend, Claire falls into a deep depression, but a surprising discovery about her friends’ husband gives her a new taste for life.

François Ozon

One of the most provocative and vibrant filmmakers to emerge during the 1990s, French director François Ozon has distinguished himself with dark, mordantly psychological films that draw their impact from Ozon’s frank and often disturbing explorations of transgression and sexuality. After earning a master’s degree in cinema, Ozon attended FEMIS, France’s prestigious national film school. Sitcom was his first feature-length film, followed by Criminal Lovers, Under the Sand, 8 Women, Swimming Pool, 5x2, Ricky. In 2013 he received Europen Film award as the best screenwriter for the film In the House, for which he also received Golden Seashell award at San Sebastián.
