Chicago – The dreamy and lyrical often forges a duet with the brooding and ominous in the work of French auteur François Ozon, perhaps best known to American audiences for his 2003 mystery “Swimming Pool,” misleadingly billed as a Hitchcockian thriller. It was, in fact, a psychosexual drama about one uptight author’s self-actualization, and the mysterious young woman who sets it into motion.
This woman may or may not be the author’s younger, more liberated alter ego, though Ozon wisely blurs the lines of his puzzle pieces, opting for abstractness over exposition. His 2009 effort, “Ricky,” is much more of a straightforward fantasy, yet Ozon utilizes its playful imagery to paint a touching portrait of the perils and joys of parenthood. Released under the radar in America, this film is sure to delight unsuspecting audiences with its numerous beguiling plot twists.
DVD Rating: 4.0/5.0
