I love that the French have such great roles for women in cinema. The pacing and mystery are great; I also love the depiction of grief. People have preconceived ideas of how a person in grief behaves, and it's those preconceptions that had Lindy Chamberlain wrongly imprisoned for infanticide.<br /><br />Three Colours: Paul Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10965628567103267009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34898184.post-81881001412001777892010-03-05T07:40:20.283+11:002010-03-05T07:40:20.283+11:00I think Under the Sand might have been the first O...I think Under the Sand might have been the first Ozon film I saw too Paul. I like it a lot, especially it's very deliberate pacing and element of mystery.<br /><br />Something like Time to Leave is another good example of how Ozon transcends the ordinary - the plot is like something out of the dreariest midday movie that's been recycled a million times before, yet by the end I found it David O'Connellhttp://www.screenfanatic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34898184.post-1226352420415719352010-03-04T01:04:07.285+11:002010-03-04T01:04:07.285+11:00David, whatever you think of The Army of Crime, yo...David, whatever you think of The Army of Crime, you'll find his other films very different. <br /><br />I loved Criminal Lovers but was lukewarm on both 5X2 and Swimming Pool. Given his penchant for the unpredictable (which Ricky certainly is), I though those two films were a bit too derivative.

Queen of Play has probably been my favourite. I'm looking forward to Army of Crime. I haven't actually seen any of Guedigian's films so it'll be a first exposure for me.<br /><br />Great to see some positive reaction to Ricky which I admit to liking as well.
