Quote:

Chloé, a fragile young woman, falls in love with her psychoanalyst, Paul. A few months later she moves in with him, but soon discovers that her lover is concealing a part of his identity.

I didn't see a thread for this one. Here ya go.

I watched this last night and quite enjoyed it. Definitely reminded me of Dead Ringers.

I'd probably have to watch it a couple more times to give a meaningful review.

Saw this last night and really enjoyed it. Double Lover is like Dead Ringers with a little bit of Elle and mother! sprinkled in for effect. I would also say that this is certainly on the higher end of Ozon's filmography (my personal favorite of his would be Swimming Pool). Will require at least two, maybe more, viewings to really get it I feel.

I've only seen this and Time to Leave from Ozon. I definitely need to check out some others.

I'll definitely watch this one. The last Ozon film I watched (The New Girlfriend) was rather awesome.

That's a good one, I still need to see Frantz which is in my Amazon queue.

Not seen a lot of Ozon films, but that looks really good.

Made the mistake of not renting this when it was available. Should have, though, since Jérémie Renier is always good. My favorite Ozon movie so far is 'Time to Leave'.

A sexy, twisted erotic thriller that wears its influences on its sleeve. 3.5/5

I caught this on shudder last month (in the us)

and to be honest, I thought it was pretty awful and disappointing.

I love under the sand and 8 women... but this felt like a more pretentious depalma movie

Weird that the UK Blu-ray is 1080i (25 FPS) and the French Blu-ray is 1080p (24 FPS). Usually it's the other way around.
