I had seen Under the Sand before watching See the sea so I had my hopes high while waiting for it to start on TV. What a mistake that was! Any mention to François Ozon turns my stomach upside down these days.
There is so little logic in the story( i.e a lonely mother lets a perfect creepy stranger in her property, she leaves the baby in the beach and bathtub all alone, she lets the stranger babysit her child, after finding the notebook on the tent she still invites the backpacker to stay in the house and ends up having sex with her etc...) that it is hardly believable. Every single impossible mistake the mother makes makes you wanna cry ' not again!'. After a while it looses credibility completely only to become the most disgusting nightmare one can have. Any and every deranging shockers are used. From fecal matter to teeth cleaning with feces dripped toothbrush, from oral sex with gay prostitutes to child-birthing details, from lesbian sex to lesbian kidnapper-murderer-psycho the director welcomes them all. And all this in 50 some minutes which is the only good thing about this film: it's short.
The only other movie competing with this one on the disgust-meter is the hostel. If that is art so is this.
Quelle horreur!
