Hideaway (2009, dir. Francois Ozon) ***/****

A Francois Ozon's Hideaway, a young heroin addict, Mousse (Isabelle Carre) who's boyfriend recently died from an overdose, discovers she's pregnant.   She moves into a quiet cottage away from Paris and lives a tranquil, secluded existence.  Soon, her dead boyfriend's gay brother (Louis-Ronan Choisy) moves in with her.  The film centres on their developing, unconventional relationship.  Hideaway is a character study in which not a lot happens in the way of action.  The acting is good and the story is slow-moving but still quite compelling.  It is recommended to fans of French cinema and character-driven films.
