Description

François Ozon: A Film Career in Transition Thibaut Schilt explores the career of François Ozon, a filmmaker known for his innovative style and provocative themes. From his early days as a student at Fémis to his current international reputation, Schilt examines Ozon's filmmaking process, including his use of familiar genres and his exploration of traditional boundaries between reality and fantasy. Ozon's films often blur the lines between masculine and feminine, gay and straight, and reality and fantasy. This book provides an in-depth look at these themes and others that run through Ozon's work, including obsessions with inadequate fathers and a recurring taste for "the foreign". The volume also includes an insightful interview with the director. Schilt contextualizes Ozon's filmmaking within the larger fields of French cinema and international queer cinema. By examining Ozon's career and themes, this book offers a nuanced understanding of one of today's most innovative filmmakers.
