What is François Ozon (French Film Directors Series) about?

This is the first full-length study of the films of Franois Ozon, director of such diverse films as 8 femmes, Swimming Pool, 5x2 and Les amants criminels. Andrew Asibongs passionate and critical analysis focuses on the extent to which Ozons seemingly light touch never ceases to engage with the fundamentally weighty issue of existential transformation, a transformation that affects both his protagonists and his audiences. A central question what is at stake, cinematically, ethically and politically, in Ozons alternatively utopian and cynical flirtation with the construction and deconstruction of contemporary social relations. Revealing Ozon as a highly adept fan of a whole range of thought, literature and cinema, Asibong places the precocious French auteur in an intellectual yet highly accessible critical framework, allowing Ozons importance for a thoroughly postmodern filmgoing generation to be given the attention it deserves.
