About the book: 2018 / Francois Ozon released his first feature films in the late nineties. Over the next twenty years, he managed to become one of the most famous French authors. And in Russia he was recognized almost earlier than in his homeland. But who is this director really? A cynical postmodernist or an artist with a vulnerable soul? A connoisseur of feminine nature or a cold misogynist? In his book, Andrei Plakhov talks about the changeable nature of the director, whose works clearly demonstrate the aesthetic breakdown in world cinema at the turn of the century.
