#11. LE REFUGE
Director: François Ozon
Cast: Isabelle Carré, Louis-Ronan Choisy, Pierre Louis-Calixte, Melvil Poupaud
Distributor: Rights Available.
Buzz: Le refuge one came out of the woodworks rather quickly, reminding us that Ozon’s one film per year pacing in the last decade makes him one of the hardest working filmmakers around. I’ll cite a lack of interest in the subject matter for his more recent films (Ricky and Angel), but I happen to think that his best work are portraits where he places his characters is a series of life’s cruel tests. This addiction drama might just get me back into the saddle.
The Gist: Mousse and Louis are young, beautiful, rich and in love. But drugs have invaded their lives. One day they overdose, and Louis dies. Mousse survives, but soon learns she’s pregnant. Feeling lost, she runs away to a house far from Paris. Several months later, Louis’ brother joins her in her refuge
