directed by François Ozon
France/UK 2003
English detective story
writer Sarah Morton (Charlotte Rampling) has had enough of
her series detective character and takes her publisher's
(Charles Dance) advice to stay at his house in the French
countryside and write something new. No sooner does Sarah
settle into the idyllic sun-drenched surroundings when her
publisher's wild and promiscuous French daughter Julie (Ludivine
Sagnier) shows up. At first Julie is a distraction and an
annoyance to the writer but she soon becomes a source of
inspiration and answers to the writer about the private life
of her publisher and his late wife. Things take a darker
turn when Julie discovers Sarah's latest manuscript and
Sarah soon finds herself in a real life thriller. |

Comments: |
Despite this being a dual-layer
disc, the 98 minute film occupies only 3.50 GB of the total 5.25
GB size of the main title-set due the presence of 2 448 kbits/s
5.1 tracks and 2 full bit-rate DTS tracks (almost 1 GB each).
That said, the image doesn't seem to suffer. The 5.1 and DTS
tracks are nothing special, meaning they are professional and
nicely enveloping but seem rather extravagant for the film (see
review comments) although the credits do sport Dolby Digital and
DTS logos so they are valid.
Most of the extras are standard press-kit stuff and not very
substantial. There is a Cannes 2003 Film Festival montage and
panel. An interview with Charlotte Rampling (in English) and one
with Ludivine Sagnier in French. Deleted Scenes are in the
original English/French with optional French commentary by
director Ozon. Most interesting is the well-edited 7 minute
condensation of the film in English. |
