The Hollywood Reporter labeled it “twisty, joyously perverse” while Variety said it was simply “delectable entertainment.” But you might wind up calling The New Girlfriend just plain fun — not to mention racy, thrilling and visually stunning. Inspired by Almodóvar, Hitchcock and De Palma, director François Ozon blends the macabre with a heartfelt romance in the tale of soft-spoken Claire and her love affair with a mysterious stranger. After mourning the loss of Laura, her childhood friend, Claire discovers Laura’s husband David (Romain Duris) dressed head-to-toe in his wife’s clothes. Unsure whether his new guise is the result of foul play, she threatens to reveal David to Laura’s family. But the more time she spends with him, the more Claire becomes seduced by his beautiful new incarnation … Now Outfest screens this one-of-a-kind gender-bending melodrama at The Theatre at Ace Hotel. Ticket also includes admission to afterparty.
