The master of satire and delving into human nature was born in Paris in 1967 and graduated from the film school La Femis. In 1998, he directorially debuted with ‘Sitcom’, which presented his approach to art and was critically acclaimed.
In 2002, François Ozon won international acclaim with his dark comedy musical ‘8 women’, featuring top-notch actresses Catherine Deneuve, Fanny Ardant, Isabelle Huppert, Emmanuelle Beart and others.
The brilliant cast and intriguing detective plot, in combination with revived style of 1950s Hollywood pictures, helped the eight actresses win the Best Actress nomination at the 2002 European Film Awards.
The French genius went on to steal the show with ‘Swimming Pool’ in 2003. This movie captures the difficulty of writing a screenplay. It is regarded as very personal by Ozon.
‘Time to Leave’ (2005) conveys the tragic story of successful photographer Romain whose days are numbered by cancer. Romain’s part is played by Melvil Poupaud.
In 2007, Ozon released ‘Angel’, based on English novelist Elizabeth Taylor’s work. It depicts the story of a girl who becomes a romance writer in Edwardian England. Leading lady Ramola Garai became Ozon’s “muse.”
With his movie ‘In the House’ Francois Ozon received the Golden Shell best film award and the Jury Price for best screenplay at the 60th San Sebastian Donostia International Film Festival in 2012.
