SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Its elegant, chaptered storytelling turns voyeurism, manipulation and authorship into a deliciously unstable game, with the same pleasure in shifting perspective and moral complicity as Ozon’s film.
02
Why this pick
Another coolly seductive Ozon puzzle about a writer and a disruptive younger presence, where observation, invention and desire steadily blur without sacrificing the sly wit of In the House.
03
Why this pick
It shares the intimate tension of watching other people’s private lives and being changed by what is observed, building suspense through small behavioural details rather than overt action.
04
Why this pick
A sensuous, literary-feeling drama of hidden connections and uncertain perception. Its refined visual design and quietly unsettling emotional ambiguity suit the taste for stories that invite interpretation.
05
Why this pick
For the prickly literary-world satire: it follows ambitious, emotionally careless people treating life as material, with sharp humour and an increasingly uncomfortable view of artistic self-absorption.

01 / THE STORY
Germain, a middle-aged literature teacher bonds with his 16-year-old student, Claude Garcia, as a tutor in helping to improve his writing skills which leads the precocious and disdainful student to be increasingly transgressive and antisocial with a flair in manipulating relationship dynamics and skill to find his needs satisfied. The student copulates with his friend's mother and with the teacher's wife. He destroys the teacher's life, but after the events, they remain in touch for their mutual passion in finding stories that excite them.
