“Delves into the strange journeys love can take...lovely and understated.”
—Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
"Admirable...a singularly engaging work of art."
—Eric Kohn, indieWIRE
Director Ozon deftly juggles the stages of wariness, tentative friendship, bonding, and eroticism when a gay man is drawn into the sphere of his dead brother’s girlfriend. Beautiful, young and in love...heroin-addicted and knocked up: Mousse awakens in a hospital following her overdose to find that her lover Louis is dead and his wealthy mother is offering to pay for an abortion. Mousse instead holes up in a borrowed seaside cottage to wait out her pregnancy. The plot thickens, along with her belly (actress Carré was actually pregnant) when Louis’s brother Paul drops in for a visit and stays the summer. In French with English subtitles. 35mm widescreen.
