N2  - Examines François Ozon, one of France’s most prolific and best known international (queer) directorsAnalyses films including Potiche, Frantz and By the Grace of God, and shows how Ozon’s work is deeply influenced by literature, cinema and musicDraws on recent theoretical developments in gender, queer and film studiesEach chapter offers a case study of one film while grounding its arguments within Ozon’s larger oeuvre, as well as the social, historical and political contextA queer auteur who plays with generic conventions, François Ozon is one of France’s most prolific and best known international directors, who has built a filmography that not only engages in the representation of non-normative sexualities, kinship and violence, but also makes room for social outcasts and marginalised communities. This edited collection brings together renowned and emergent scholars to investigate further questions of minority, queerness, (queer) intertextuality and gender representations, as well as secrecy, transgression and intimacy in his films, offering the most up-to-date study of François Ozon’s cinema
