ResumoAbstractIn this article I examine two films by Patrice Leconte which, although they are very different in style and atmosphere, have much in common in the way they create fantasy worlds and put into question stereotypes about love, gender and sex. Under a light-hearted surface Leconte presents characters with deep subconscious motivations who illustrate a reversal of the traditional feminine and masculine roles and widen the range of heterosexual behaviours shown on the screen.
