OK, see if you can follow this. Writer Emmanuele Bernheim, who worked with director Francois Ozon on films like Swimming Pool, wrote a book about the experience of helping her ailing father take his own life. Now, that book has been turned into a movie by Ozon, who also views the film as a tribute to Bernheim, who died a few years ago. As a result, Everything Went Fine is an elegy within an elegy. My review is live over at Screen International.
