Potiche (FR, 2010)

Have never been really sure what to make of Ozon; his work seems to run the gamut from OK but incomplete/not entirely convincing (5 X 2, Swimming Pool), poor (Les Amants Criminels) to good or very good (Refuge, Water Drops on Burning Rocks). Here again he switches tack to crowd-pleasing 'Stage French' melodrama; it's well produced, with a camp 70's look and feel, but slightly overplayed, and maybe a little long.
