Abstract:
Sitcom: An upper-middle-class nuclear family experience upheaval when they adopt a laboratory mouse as their new pet. As each member interacts with the new addition to the household, the animal exerts a strange power that prompts them to explore their repressed psychosexual desires. A satire of bourgeois values--something of a cross between John Waters and Luis Buñuel--Ozon offers surreal delights and a rollercoaster of perversions in Sitcom.
Criminal lovers: An audacious queer take on Hansel and Gretel, Criminal lovers starts with a thrill kill that sends its protagonists, Alice and Luc, down the rabbit hole. Like a wannabe Bonnie and Clyde, the couple flee their safe suburban lives before getting lost in the woods, only to find themselves trapped by a psychotic woodsman. What awaits in his cellar--from sexual enlightenment to karmic retribution--must be seen to be believed.
Water drops on burning rocks : Adapts an unproduced play by Rainer Werner Fassbinder--Ozon's favorite filmmaker--in which Franz, a naïve 19-year-old, is seduced by a smug yet alluring 50 year old businessman Leopold, quicklly moving into his apartment. Domestic bliss is short-lived as a sadomasochistic relationship takes root and the power dynamics continue to shift upon the arrival of both men's ex-girlfriends: the spry Anna and mysterious Vera. This ménage à quatre leads to sex, despair, and, of course, a musical number.
