ROMAIN DURIS IN THE NEW GIRLFRIEND
Coming: François Ozon's new film The New Girlfriend (2014)
I'll soon be screening and reviewing this new film from Ozon, which debuted at Toronto September 2014. Here's part of the press release from Steve Indig, of Landmark Theaters, Northern California. General US release date is 19 September 2015.
Cohen Media Group presents THE NEW GIRLFRIEND, opening September 18, 2015 at Landmark’s Embarcadero Center Cinema, Landmark Theatres in Berkeley (venue tbd), and Rafael Film Center in San Rafael.
Claire (rising French star Anais Demoustier) discovers a secret about the husband of her late best friend, Laura. Following Laura's death, Claire reaches out to comfort bereaved David (Romain Duris), only to discover his secret: he enjoys dressing as a woman. In acclaimed writer-director Francois Ozon’s provocative new film, he elevates his exploration of modern sexuality and femininity to a new level.

"What's truly amazing about THE NEW GIRLFRIEND, Francois Ozon's portrait of a husband and father who keeps his dead wife alive by wearing her dresses, is how this grandmaster of cinematic sexuality in all its guises manages to be comedic, provocative, reflective, inspiring even. I don't know when I've been just blasted out of my seat by a film that continually surprises, delights and entertains." — Stephen Schaefer/Boston Herald
