The New Girlfriend
AroView: A playful and stylish exploration of gender identity and eroticism based on a short story by Ruth Rendell, in which a grieving widower begins dressing up in his dead wife’s clothes, and eventually explores a new identity as a woman with his best friend as an accomplice. A thoughtful and witty melodrama with a hint of Hitchcockian suspense, directed by François Ozon (8 Women, Swimming Pool).
“The filmmaking is exemplary but most impressive of all is the tone that mixes comedy, melodrama and darkness.” ~IAN FREER, EMPIRE
