You make an interesting point about the "rape" scene(s), although I'm doubtful regarding Marion's submissiveness and if that was what Ozon tried to portray.

Maybe Ozon should've hired actors that didn't come across as cerebral as Tedeschi and Feiss. That's where we perhaps differ the most in terms of their characters and how they handled themselves.

I think a couple of other members have also seen this film, so it'll be interesting to read their comments and opinions.
