Criminal Lovers is a very underrated and fairly unknown French film that I think is really great. Not sure how available it has been in the past, but I think that if people start taking notice to it, it will be talked about a lot more. It's a weird little crime / drama story that almost ventures into a fairytale at times, just with a more... adult twist to it. Figured it was worth posting about.

I love this film, its pretty twisted take on the Hanzel and Gretal fairytale. And whats up with Ozon having women fucking chairs and trees in a few of his films? I'm also a huge fan of Ozon's See The Sea and Sitcom. Under The Sand, Swimming Pool and Water Drops on Burning Rocks aren't half bad either IMO.
