This is an amazing shorts collection from one on France's best young directors. They're smart, sad, funny, sexy and each short has the emotional impact of a feature film. Especially Little Death. With UNDER THE SAND, Ozon gets better and better with the seeds of genius clearly apparent in these short masterpieces!

This review is from: François Ozon - A Curtain Raiser and Other Shorts (DVD)

This is a bizarre collection of short films - very Euro, bizarre scenarios. Ozon is a French filmaker of some reknown in France but not in the States. Unless you are a fan of offbeat plots, unknown actors with the exception of Garrel then this is not for you. The only viable short is the one with Garrel however that's a bit disapointing compared to any of his other works.

I found this to be a fascinating and admirable film. The plot seems simple but the dialogue contains insights about life that are confirming and enlightening. It is an ingenious film. In a short time, with a simple story, it reveals much about human nature. I saw it on the Sundance channel and knew that I would want to share it with others so I am purchasing it.
