    Song of Love

    ★★★★½

    While the eroticism is a main talking point, I was blown away by how well desire, longing and love were communicated in such a short space of time.

    When Fall Is Coming

    ★★★

    Unremarkable in the grand scheme of Ozon’s oeuvre. The melodrama feels too absurd for the more reserved tone that is established at the beginning, almost as if it’s trying to land somewhere between the playfulness of The Crime Is Mine and brooding tension of Swimming Pool, but struggles to pull either off.

    Despite that, it’s playful enough to be entertaining and the central performance is endearing, leading to a finale that surprised me with how much of an emotional punch it had.

    Like reading a great book that’s fallen apart and someone’s glued the pages in the wrong order.
