. ozon let u see his character directly while and then through the mind of charlotte rampling ( a author ) character . two strand apply the direct to ozon mind and and the indirect and via rampling . and there the fun begin . we glimpse a gawky and immature and teeth in band teenager ( blonde ) towards the end of the movie morton ( the publisher ) daughter . but who have this blonde ( ludivine sagnier ) who have she be . and how do she get to be in the house or novel or movie at all . well now and let me see . we learn at the beginning that morton daughter might well drop in on the writer a she be only borrow morton house in the luberon area of provence . we accept an idea of the incumbent blonde in all probability a that spoken of daughter . but she seem like a 15 year old go on 35. she have an amazing amount of baggage for such a seemingly young girl . and she get into such torrid and bizarre and and ghastly gargantuan fix all seem too improbable . the mix and match mode a strand cross strand and weave a rich texture of reality versus illusion and fiction versus fact and and dream versus daylight the enjoyment be in the management ( in each viewer mind ) of the strand and understand when the author fiction be be play out across the screen while and when we be back again inside the movie director mind ( a oppose to one of his character i. e the novelist ) . the local people encounter in the luberon quickly become assimilated into rampling novel their more outmodish act be invention of the novelist mind ( but be re play inside an ozon movie ) . and character we might think be kith and kin of the real people we encounter and be in fact nothing but kin to the fine imaginings of the typing hand . ludivine sagnier be the case in point and she a cruel joke against morton dismissive inattention towards our writerly heroine . the gawky and tooth band teenager have and in all likelihood and be in provence all along and in the projection of the novelist mind fashion into a femme fatale that make the ludivine we see on our screen and ( and a the central protagonist of the rampling novel and be it at hand to be read ) .
