The New Girlfriend

Thursday afternoon in the Phoenix seeing The New Girlfriend, the new film by Francois Ozon (see also The Swimming Pool, with Charlotte Rampling) - which centres around Claire, married to Gilles, and best friend (since they were 7) Laura, married to David, with baby Lucie. When Laura dies, Claire seems to be thrown into a quandary - did she love Laura, does she love Gilles, does she love David, does she love David when he's dressed as a woman - she decides the latter - there I've given the plot away so that you don't have to waste your sunny Thursday afternoon seeing the film. It all seemed very odd and inconsistent - but then I'm not gay, or a transvestite, or a woman. So here's a nice photo of Anais Demoustier (Claire).
