It was a movie released a few years ago, directed by François Ozon.
I've got this dvd in the holidays back in taiwan, finally got time to watch it.

The story is about a successful crime fiction author, Sarah, is suffering from writer's block. Her publisher suggests her to take a break in his holiday house in the south France. When she enjoys in her solitude, the publisher's daughter, Julie, shows up unexpectedly. Their interactions and then set off an increasingly unsettling series of events, and a possible real-life murder.

The movie wasn't scared me untill the very end when Sarah and Julie walks pass at John's (the publisher)office. Julie looks a totally different girl, she looks chubby, with teeth bracelet, and she's closed to her dad. The most importantly, she seems doesn't know Sarah at all.

Guess the director wants to let the audience to decide if it's illusion or they really happened.

i personally think it was just the fiction story that Sarah wrote in her new released book.



I love this movie. The casting is good, and it is nicely filmed.

But something in the movie i just don't get it. For example, did Julie really been there and meet Sarah, or it's the other stranger Or it's all her imaginations? Did Sarah really seduce the old gardener and have sex with him in the end? -_-*%&#@
