This collection of four short films by Mr. Ozon (WATER DROPS ON BURNING ROCKS), one of France`s most celebrated filmmakers of the 1990s, is characterized both by the director`s startling imagery and the frankly humorous way he approaches his characters` sexuality. The first short, X2000 finds three nude couples milling around a deserted skyscraper the morning after the millennium. The second, Truth or Dare, finds four curious teenagers playing truth or dare until someone`s dare stuns all of them. The third film, Little Death, is a serious and intensely moving drama about a young gay photographer who finally resolves his difficult relationship with his father after he dies and finds a box of his old photographs. The final film, Bed Scenes, is a series of comic vignettes on lust and sexual etiquette.NR"
