“It's funny how people want to sometimes think that Young and Beautiful film is about all adolescents, but it's just the case of one girl. It doesn't mean all the adolescents are like that, of course.” PeopleThinkingMeanSometimesBeautifulFilmGirlYoung And Beautiful Author:Francois Ozon
“The first idea of Young and Beautiful was to have a young boy and to explore the sexuality of boys. But, I realized, with a boy doing prostitution, of course it has to deal with homosexuality. And I had a feeling it was too much for the film, you know, sexuality, prostitution, adolescence ... there were too many films for one film.” FeelingsBeautifulFilmBoysSexualityI RealizedAdolescenceHomosexualityYoung And Beautiful Author:Francois Ozon
“I didn't want to make Young and Beautiful as very dramatic movie . In a certain way, I wanted to do a girly film. I wanted to make something sweet, pink. With a boy it was too dramatic and too heavy. I had a lot of pleasure with the boys in In the House, I said, "This time I will do a film with girls."” BeautifulFilmGirlHousePleasureBoysSweetDramaticGirlyYoung And Beautiful Author:Francois Ozon
“Sometimes it's easier for me to do films about, and with, women, because I have more distance, I'm more lucid.” SometimesFilmDistance Author:Francois Ozon
“I do films to be behind the camera, not in front of the camera. I'm sure I say very intimate things about myself in all my films, but it's better to say it not too directly, to be hidden behind a woman.” FilmBehindsFrontsCamerasIntimate Author:Francois Ozon
