Ozon\u2019s movie lifts some of the suspense, tying the loose strings handily by the conclusion, even letting the audience guess the fate of the principals.\u00a0 You can decide whether Claire (Ana\u00efs Demoustier) leaves her handsome husband Gilles (Rapha\u00ebl Personnaz) and hooks up with David (Romain Duris) or whether they remain simply the best of friends.<\/p>\n<p>While the scenes are viewed through Claire\u2019s point of view, David, aka Virginia, is the catalyst.\u00a0 When his young wife Laura (Isild Le Besco) dies, David must bring up their baby Lucie alone, but David\u2019s sexual identity change has only a little to do with fulfilling the little one\u2019s need for a mom.\u00a0 Truth to tell, he enjoys dressing as a woman, using his wife\u2019s lipstick, dresses, and a full wig, an idiosyncratic choice that his wife knows about and accepts. When Claire catches David in drag she is horrified enough to call him a pervert.\u00a0 It will be up to David, known as Virginia when trans-dressed, to coax his best friend to accept him and even cherish the confused identity.<\/p>\n<p>That Claire and Laura were bosom buddies before the latter\u2019s demise is shown clearly.\u00a0 As children who played together regularly, they seal with bond with blood. Claire is the keynote speaker at Laura\u2019s funeral and grieves for Laura perhaps even more than her widowed husband.<\/p>\n<p>As the film progresses Claire becomes increasingly comfortable with \u201cVirginia,\u201d accepting him for what he is and even more attracted to him than before her discovery.\u00a0 The Brian DePalma-type photography by Pascal Marti is punctuated particularly by the lenser\u2019s overhead look at Laura\u2019s corpse and what\u2019s more, David is so photogenic as Virginia that he can convince someone who shows up late into the movie that he is a woman.\u00a0\u00a0 All this sexual confusion forms a backdrop to the growing attraction between David and Claire, giving the audience the impression that for Claire, a good-looking but conservative husband is no match for the imaginative David.<\/p>\n<p>Ozon delivers a film with wit, charm, humor and drama, combining the four to form a unified tone to an imaginative story which, despite bizarre occurrences appears eminently credible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rated R.\u00a0 109 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Story \u2013 B+<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Acting \u2013 B+<br \/>\nTechnical \u2013 A-<br \/>\nOverall \u2013 B+<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/tng.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/tng.jpg\" alt=\"tng\" width=\"600\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-155045\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/tng.jpg 749w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/tng-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE NEW GIRLFRIEND (Une nouvelle amie) Cohen Media Group Reviewed by: Harvey Karten for Shockya.
