Refocus: The Films of François Ozon

A queer auteur who plays with generic conventions, François Ozon is one of France's most prolific and best known international directors, who has built a filmography that not only engages in the representation of non-normative sexualities, kinship and violence, but also makes room for social outcasts and marginalised communities. This edited collection brings together renowned and emergent scholars to investigate further questions of minority, queerness, (queer) intertextuality and gender representations, as well as secrecy, transgression and intimacy in his films, offering the most up-to-date study of François Ozon's cinema.
