FOCUS: FRANCE &bull Inspired by a Rose Tremain story, audacious French filmmaker François Ozon (Swimming Pool) blends gritty realism with outright fantasy in a surprising tale that suggests a surreal merger of Dardenne and Disney. Single mother Katie (Alexandra Lamy) lives in a French housing project with seven-year-old daughter Lisa (Mélusine Mayance) and works at a dreary factory job. Things change when she meets co-worker Paco (Sergi López); they embark on a hungry, passionate affair and produce a love child. Things also change for Lisa, with Paco and little Ricky (Arthur Peyret) moving in and the adorable infant getting all the attention. When Katie notices bruises on her baby's back, she fears the worst—until she realizes Ricky is sprouting wings. Its flights of whimsy tempered by incisive social observation and dark humor make Ricky a balancing act well served by its cast, especially Mayance as the solemn moppet, mature beyond her years. US Premiere. —Richard Peterson
