closeted identity

His films like 'My Own Private Idaho' and 'Milk' intimately explore hidden identities, sexual repression, and the struggle between authentic self and societal expectations.

Through films such as '8 Women' and 'Under the Sand,' Ozon masterfully examines secrets, concealment, and the psychological toll of living double lives within personal relationships.

His visually poetic works like 'Happy Together' and 'In the Mood for Love' capture the melancholy and emotional complexity of love and identity hidden in conservative societies.
