In The House

Starring the wonderful Kristin Scott Thomas with Emanuelle Seigner and Fabrice Luchini, IN THE HOUSE is celebrated auteur filmmaker François Ozon’s (8 Women, The Swimming Pool) captivating and ironic look at the art of storytelling itself.  High school literature teacher Germain (Fabrice Luchini, Potiche and The Women On The 6th Floor) despairs at the quality of his students’ writing until he reads a story that is both compelling and disturbingly voyeuristic. His talented student, Claude (Ernst Umhauer), writes of charming his way into his friend’s house and of his fascination with his friend’s mother (Emmanuelle Seigner).  Germain’s passion for teaching is reawakened and he offers Claude some private lessons, but who has he let into his house? Gradually the line between Claude’s new stories and reality blur until Germain himself starts appearing in Claude’s writing and Germain’s own life becomes a new obsession.
