Water Drops On Burning Rocks (2000)

François Ozon's "Water Drops on Burning Rocks" is a dark chamber drama adapted from an early Rainer Werner Fassbinder play. It tracks the twisted power dynamics between an aging man and his younger lover. Their household soon expands into something stranger and more volatile. Ludivine Sagnier brings a sly, unpredictable energy to the film. She plays one of the women drawn into this claustrophobic setup. Sagnier doesn't shy away from the material's frank physicality. The site carries 6 scenes from the film showcasing her nude and topless work. They capture the loose, provocative spirit Ozon builds his story around.
