In the House


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes

François Ozon's latest is a very intriguing little drama/thiller based on a stage play. Films about writers can be tricky but this one navigates it quite well. There's a great unreliable narrator aspect going on. There also a subplot with Kristin Scott Thomas and her art studio that, while it adds thematically, isn't as interesting as when we follow this student into the house of his classmate. And when things start getting big, they can always hang a lampshade on it. Great fun.
