Movie No. 55 (2017): IN THE HOUSE

In The House (Dans La Maison) (2013)
Director: Francois Ozon
Cast: Fabrice Luchini, Kristin Scott Thomas, Emmanuelle Segner, Denis Menochet
In French, with English subtitles

A writing exercise submitted by a high school student to his Literature teacher catches the latter's attention. It gets the interest of the teacher's wife, too. The student writes about his classmate - parents and house. But, he can only write what he sees in the house; so, he must always find his way into the house. This makes the movie a certain kind of voyeurism. The comedic and cleverly psychological approach to the narrative have certain level of novelty. Performances are competent.

Rating: 4.0/4.0
