Abstract
This study examines the construction of intimate spaces in Francois Ozon`s cinema and how transgressions in those spaces cause unsettling ruptures in the distinction we normally make between private and public space. Ozon plays with the voyeuristic privilege of the cinema through different means, such as increased proximity of the camera gaze, close-ups of the body and the look as well as abrupt transgressions from one space to another. His characters often collaborate with the camera gaze by looking at it, thus breaking the fourth wall and performing, or by making us feel its gaze present within the visual field. The camera gaze, one of the most powerful chronicles for capturing reality, proves through his films how looking too closely can change what we see and can blur the lines that divide public life from private life.
