Angel

a film by François Ozon

Some time last year (I think), very late at night, I saw a second half of this movie on Spanish TV. Yesterday, they were showing it again, so I finally watched it in its entirety.

Ozon’s trademark stylisation meets Tim Burton in this tragicomedy (it’s getting progressively more tragic though): pre-Raphaelitesque Angel, wonderfully rendered by Romola Garai, charmingly obvious rear projection scenes, fabulous costumes... everything you’d expect from Ozon and more, but what it’s all about? True love, of course.
