The first full-length study in any language of the films of Francois Ozon, director of a clutch of award-winning shorts in the mid-1990s and increasingly celebrated features, such as the star-studded millennial classic of high camp, 8 femmes (2001). Andrew Asibong is Lecturer in the Department of French, Birkbeck, University of London Andrew Asibongis Lecturer in the Department of French, Birkbeck, University of London. This is the first full-length study of the films of Francois Ozon. Asibong's passionate and critical analysis focuses on the extent to which Ozon never ceases to engage with the fundamentally weighty issue of existential transformation. A central question emerges: what is at stake, cinematically, ethically and politically, in Ozon's alternatively utopian and cynical flirtation with the construction and deconstruction of contemporary social relations. Revealing Ozon as a highly adept "fan" of a whole range of thought, literature and cinema, Asibong places the precocious French auteur in an intellectual yet highly accessible critical framework, allowing Ozon's importance for a thoroughly postmodern film-going generation to be given the lucid attention it deserves.
