Sitcom

François Ozon / FR, 1998 / 85 min.

François Ozon’s outrageous debut film is an inky-black family farce that destroys every Bourgeois ideal. Full of spine-tingling twists, sexual excesses, absurd dream sequences, convoluted chaos and acid humour.

poster Sitcom (François Ozon, FR 1998)
It all starts when the father of an average, ostensibly harmonious French family brings home a pet rat. One by one they interact with the rodent which causes all manner of hidden sexual desires to emerge.
