HOW DID IT GO?
Today's François Ozon film was
A bit of time travel backward here.
We see the end of a relationship. The cold hard facts of a divorce and one last fuck to seal the deal.
What happened to these people to make them so hard?
We go back in time to find out.
Five periods. Backwards. The next one shows them with their son at home.
Before (or after) that we see them as the son is born.
Eventually we see them meet.
Each period leaves a new question about what went or is going wrong.
Ozon lets us figure it out as we move back in time.
Basically it would appear that these two never got to know each other or to break out of their original positions working for the same company. Ooops. Spoiler there.
Watch the position of the sun at the end of the first segment.
Nice other stuff like a gay brother happily with his boyfriend and a look at othe relationships, parents etc.
This is a little bit of a stretch. The format doesn't allow us to get to close either. To know them any better than they know each other. But there are numerous clues. See what the next 24 hours bring.
I spent last night processing the film we saw yesterday and which touched both of us very much. A lot came through that wasn't immediately obvious as we watched that film.
In the meantime this is a 3 out of Netflix 5
