Review by Barbara Snitzer

In the House (Dans La Maison) is a crafty, suspenseful yarn that successfully maintains the audience’s engagement throughout its entire 102 minute running time.

Director François Ozon has improved his craft by being prolific; he has made just about a film a year since his debut feature Sitcom in 1998. Fabrice Luchini plays Germain Germain, a failed author turned jaded literature teacher at the Lycée Gustave Flaubert.  The film begins with a new school year. Germain’s first assignment is for the students to write about their summer’s activities. Germain is astounded by the mediocrity of his students’ work; he reads aloud the shoddy essays to his wife,Jeanne (Kristin Scott-Thomas) who sympathizes with his frustration.  He picks the papers at random, expecting each to be worse than the next, when suddenly, one essay captivates both of them. Student Claude Garcia (excellent performance by Ersnst Umhauer »

I declared him a Walter Mitty from the stories he would tell me about himself. The kicker is that he insisted the stories were true.

★★★☆☆ The refined, if slightly aloof new offering from French director François Ozon, In the House (Dans la maison, 2012) initially impresses thanks to its central triumvirate and jigsaw-style narrative, before petering out disappointingly as it approaches its convoluted conclusion. Fabrice Luchini, Ernst Umhauer and demi-Brit Kristin Scott Thomas all put in fine turns in their respective roles - ranging from the befuddled to the Machiavellian - but Ozon's knowing study into the nature of storytelling does eventually get the better of itself, capitulating into a rather familiar battle of wits between a neurotic teacher and his cocksure student.

He emerges from the snow flurries and the hubbub of the Paris traffic for our rendez-vous in the Grand Hotel swathed in a designer scarf, wound around his neck several times and finally flung theatrically over his shoulder. In The House (Dans La Maison) director François Ozon, 45, promptly orders a tea with honey for his sore throat and settles back in a capacious settee. He once tried to be an actor but found it did not suit his demons. He retired behind the camera instead.

His latest film combines the more mainstream comedy-drama of his biggest hits, 8 Women and Potiche with the sensibility of his smaller, more cerebral offerings, such as Time To Leave, The Refuge and Swimming Pool, which also dealt with a writer and the person whose life they transform, leading to a blurring of fact and fiction.

With Cannes fast approaching, don't bet against Baz Luhrmann turning his hip-hop Gatsby into another festival showstopper

Baz in back

News that Baz Luhrmann's reimagining of The Great Gatsby will open Cannes in May has excited Trash. Ever since the film was pulled from the awards season scramble, it has been attracted some negative buzz, but this prime slot now reframes it as an arty spectacular with darkness and decadence intertwined, much like Cannes itself. Memories of Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge! opening the fest in 2001 are still fresh in Trash's mind, the opening night party being a high point. I remember Nicole Kidman dancing with Rupert Murdoch as Fatboy Slim span the tunes, and Kidman even having a go on the decks. Lots of stuffy old critics on the Croisette balked at that film's gaudy excesses, although it is now cherished by many fans.

For Cannes, I think it'll be »
