Ever-inventive, French auteur François Ozon (8 Women, Swimming Pool, The Crime is Mine) 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.
Elegant, slippery storytelling, daring tonal shifts and a wonderful lead performance make this a delightful offering.
