Description
Cast: Denis Ménochet, Isabelle Adjani, Hanna Schygulla
Casting about for his next muse, a blustery auteur falls headlong for a lithe young boy toy, initiating a tempestuous affair that threatens to destroy his career and sanity. Ozon’s loose and sexy riff on Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s masterful melodrama The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant cannily gender-swaps the lead roles, resulting in a florid, pillow-talk dialogue between two generations of queer cinema icons.
