François Ozon - A Curtain Raiser and Other Shorts



Amazing shorts collection from one on France's best young directors
This is an amazing shorts collection from one on France's best young directors. They're smart, sad, funny, sexy and each short has the emotional impact of a feature film. Especially Little Death. With UNDER THE SAND, Ozon gets better and better with the seeds of genius clearly apparent in these short masterpieces!

D'Amour
This is a bizarre collection of short films - very Euro, bizarre scenarios. Ozon is a French filmaker of some reknown in France but not in the States. Unless you are a fan of offbeat plots, unknown actors with the exception of Garrel then this is not for you. The only viable short is the one with Garrel however that's a bit disapointing compared to any of his other works.

Amazing work of art
I found this to be a fascinating and admirable film. The plot seems simple but the dialogue contains insights about life that are confirming and enlightening. It is an ingenious film. In a short time, with a simple story, it reveals much about human nature. I saw it on the Sundance channel and knew that I would want to share it with others so I am purchasing it.
