AKA - Une Nouvelle Amie
I will generally watch any film by François Ozon; I consider him a wayward nephew of Douglas Sirk.
This one covers unrequited love, identity, and deception.
The blurb in IMDB is uselessly vague -
"... young woman makes surprising discovery about the husband of her late best friend."
The source material is Ruth Rendell, so I expected a dark psychological mystery / thriller.
Mmm ... no.
The plot, steeped in individual fashion choice, despite being straight-faced throughout, is already dated.
The story, SPOILER about cross-dressing, is regurgitated and sleep inducing.
