Little Death
Alternative title: La petite mort

Directed by François Ozon

Paul's family confronts tensions as he deals with his dying father and personal insecurities.
Little Death is an assured early short film from François Ozon, already displaying his fascination with family secrets, sexuality, photography and mortality. Its clever intertwining of eroticism and death gives the film a controlled, slightly provocative edge that clearly anticipates many of the themes Ozon would develop throughout his career.
