I don't know François Ozon's films very well. I only know that he makes rather strange, weird and unusual movies. This one is not an exception. This story of a high school french teacher who has to deal with one of his students is awesome, very intriguing. The teen in question appears to be very smart, very intelligent. And far more than that.
This film is actually a sort of thriller which looks like Hitchcock's features. You may think of REAR WINDOW, for instance. The characters are well described. And when you know that François Ozon - the director - is homosexual, you understand the exquisite taste he probably had to make such a picture, with such a sensibility.
Unfortunately, I did not get everything in this little masterpiece. I should watch it twice. And it is not the kind of films I am used to see.
Yes, a very brilliant and intelligent movie. A must see.
