François Ozon

François Ozon (born November 15, 1967) is a French film director and screenwriter whose films are usually characterized by a sharp satirical wit and a freewheeling view of human sexuality. He has achieved international acclaim for his films 8 Women (2002) and Swimming Pool (2003). Ozon is considered to be one of the most important French film directors in the new "New Wave'' in French cinema, alongside Jean-Paul Civeyrac, Philippe Ramos, and Yves Caumon, as well as a group of French filmmakers associated with the ”cinéma du corps/cinema of the body.”
