Francois Ozon's 5 x 2 -March 16 (2DVD set)

Francois Ozon's 5 x 2 has been officially set for a March 16 release in France. The film won the Best Actress Award for Valeria Bruni Tedeschi at the Venice Film Festival.

While Ozon's films are always inspired by originality and usually deal with subjects that are not often seen on the big screen this new production follows a rather conventional story. Needless to say however the subtle use of strong yet individualistic characters should appeal to those familiar with some of Ozon's earlier works: Sous Le Sable (Under the Sand); Les Amants Criminels (Criminal Lovers); 8 Femmes (8 Women), Gouttes d'eau sur pierres brûlantes (Water Drops On Burning Rocks).
