Review: Back in 1998, François Ozon, then a young director, but already known for its outrageous shorts, no less shocking debut in “cinema.” First feature-length directorial debut for ozone was the tape “Sitcom” well-received and critics and audiences. Already in “Sitcom” was a characteristic signature for the director: identification of skeletons in the closet in the ordinary bourgeois family.
The opening scene immediately sets the pace sprightly throughout the narrative – a short, anecdotal, oversaturated with erotic and psychological trick. Before us is a traditional, one hundred percent French, family. The head of the family – wise father, the good mother, son, korpyaschy over textbooks and unremarkable daughter. But one day his father brings home an innocent lab rats. Soon cute little animal begins to exert its beneficial influence.

Ozone carefully dissects each family member gives access to all the desires of a hidden characters, so much so as Pasolini himself never dreamed of. Behind the facade of an idyllic picture with peacefully dines Semeiko hiding hilarious naborchik choicest perversions: incest, masochism, homosexuality and pedophilia, masturbation and voyeurism, as well as other amenities secret passions.
