      Audience Member The greatest 01 hour: and 36 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Highly original and unforgettable low budget film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member In the modern revision of Hansel and Gretel, seductive Alice pressured sexually confused Luc into murdering their classmate whom she claimed has raped her. Their attempt to hide the body and escape the police led them into a dangerous hut in the rural forest owned by a strange man they soon find themselves in a dangerous trap worse than being caught by the police, or is it? Arguably Ozon's breakthrough film into the mainstream, it's incredibly weird as his other films but somewhat more thought provoking and artistic. The editing was more mature, the storytelling was pretty good too though could really be shortened and less repetitive. Not for the faint-hearted. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Filme francês, de François Ozon, com um roteiro interessante. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member not for the faint-hearted or easily offended. most disturbing scene visually? skinning of the rabbit. not one of my favorite ozons. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Not as good as future Ozon works but still have the subtlety and layered messages that he's very well famous for. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
