See the Sea (1997) review

A young mother inexplicably invites a vagabond to camp outside her house in Ozon's first feature: common sense would tell you that this vagabond is dangerous, but the woman (who is anticipating her husband's return from Paris) seems hopelessly naïve, and the film builds to an ending I was expecting from the beginning. Ozon's idea that the vagabond is a better 'mother' than the other woman (who has unresolved sexual issues - she has a fling in the woods) isn't fully developed, and the movie relies too heavily on shock tactics for effect (the ending, the toothbrush-in-the-toilet). Transparency aside, it's meticulously paced and gloriously 'cinematic' - the kind of picture that announces the presence of a major talent.
