"Scènes de lit" or "Bed Scenes" is a 25-minute live action short film from 1998, so this one has its 20th anniversary next year and it was made by prolific French writer and director. Or I should perhaps say "they were made" because it is really a collection of several very short films in which characters lie in bed together and talk, mostly about their sex lives. So it is really a very dialogue-driven little film, but sadly Ozon's writing at the end of the old millennium apparently wasn't yet at the very highest level compared to some of his very recent films and also compared to his very best short film works as he made quite a few back then. It's still a great variety here as the scenes include regular heterosexual couples, gay couples (homosexuals and lesbians) and also one couple with a huge age difference. So the idea is okay overall I would say. But as a whole I give this one a thumbs-down because Ozon did not succeed with the difficult task of making these individual clips work during their minimal runtime. Watch something else instead.
