Like his colleague Pedro Almodovar, French director Francois Ozon is praised for his passion for women - for actresses, more specifically - as much as he is praised for the surreal, Day-Glo worlds he creates. Like much of Almodovar's work, Ozon's "8...

Movie review, 'Va Savoir'

2001-11-15 00:00:00
