See the Sea (1997)
8/10
Plenty of deviant behavior for everybody

Warning: Spoilers
It's short, but there's a surplus of sexuality and deviant behavior in Francois Ozon's "See The Sea", a strange tale about a lonely mother of one who lets a filthy drifter girl camp in the backyard of her island home. When this woman needs a break from baby, she wanders into the nearby forest to get her vagina eaten by one of the local gay boys (or should that be bi boys?) Ozon, who directed the excellent Criminal Lovers, has a skill with material about marginalized characters; he's not averse to strange sexuality, either. You know this film is going somewhere weird, and it sure does, but it manages to stay interesting for the most part and is quite erotic. The island location is stunning and the final revelation is a welcome shocker.
