Francois Ozon
i've just looked at the tv for this week"water drops on burning rock" is showing tonight, on channel 4 1.35-3.10am. the name rang a bell, though it is not a film i have seen. a quick check and it is known in french as "Gouttes d'eau sur pierres brûlantes", and is a film by francois ozon. ozon could well be one of my favourite french directors, responsible for films like 8 Women and Sitcom. looking further into the week i spot that there is also "under the sand", which is "Sous le sable" in french, and is also by francois ozon.

by coincidence i am thinking about going to a see a film in the cinema tonight, the most likely choice being Swimming Pool, which is Ozon's latest film and his first in english. swimming pool stars Ludivine Sagnier and Charlotte Rampling. Ludivine Sagnier being one of the 8 Women in that film which preceded Swimming Pool, and Charlotte Rampling being the lead in Under The Sand.

out of curiousity i was just looking up the details for Marina de Van, and was taken aback to see her listed as being related to 8 Women! it turns out that she was one of the co-writer for 8 Women as well as one of the lead actresses in Sitcom. another connection! i should probably pay more attention, and would spot these kind of things a lot quicker!

anyway. most likely i'll go see swimming pool tonight, and tape water drops to watch another night.
