Peter von Kant

Directed by François Ozon

Peter Von Kant, a director, falls for Amir, a young man from modest means, igniting a passionate yet complicated affair.
Peter von Kant is François Ozon’s playful reworking of Fassbinder, transforming the original’s gender dynamics while retaining its cruel portrait of obsessive desire. Denis Ménochet gives a wonderfully theatrical performance, and the film’s lush interiors make emotional dependency look both glamorous and suffocating.
