Possible spoilers beneath. i agree that Ozon is a great filmmaker -- Under the Sand and Swimming Pool are masterpieces in their way. but where did the outrageous plot line about Romain impregnating a random woman come from? So many gay movies are so afraid that life is meaningless without the hope of procreation, so there is inevitably either a drunken night in which our gay hero sleeps with a woman who ends up pregnant; or a plot twist in which we encounter a friendly infertile couple who need our hero's seed. why would Ozon invoke such a cliché in a movie like this? i wanted to think it must be a subversive appropriation of the convention, but in fact i think it's just lame.
