Those who do not want to know the ending of this movie should read no further.
OK- it threw me for a loop that is for sure. It seemed like a pretty straightforward movie..well there was the murder that seemed to come out of nowhere..so it wasn't all straightforward.Anyway, at the end, we find out Julia, the publisher's daughter is actually an English girl, not the French Julia from the house. So who was the girl at the house? That is what my friend whispered to me. The last shot shows the writer waving to the French Julia, and their arms are exactly in sync. From this small clue, I theorize that this Julia is a fantasy creation of the writer's own mind. That she is in fact the female murderer in the mystery novel she is writing. I'm not sure this explains everything- what did her mother's book have to do with it? Anyway, that's as far as I took it.
Follow Ups:
I also caught the way the wave at the end was in sync - how the two women brought their hands down was exactly the same. In an interview, Ozon had said originally the character of Julie was written as a male, but he had decided to change it to a female.The mother's book is a curious one as well - maybe it's something Sarah found in the house and to make it alluring turned it more mysterious than it is.
I have to see it again to catch more clues.
Yea, I just saw the movie tonight and I'm not sure what the heck was going on. I missed the in sync waving at the end but we could tell the whole time that the girl was not the publishers daughter because the writer couldn't get in contact with her publisher the whole movie to confirm the girl was his daughter. No one actually said she was his daughter, other than the daughter. We know she never met the real daughter because the real daughter didn't recognize the writer in her dad's office. The writer obviously knew something because she wasn't surprised to see the real daughter at the office. So what happened to the message she left on her publishers answering machine at the beginning? Unless she was imagining leaving the message, the publisher should have questioned what she was talking about... Obviously the french daughter was some sort of expression of the writers releasing of inhibitions. She was too perfect and free. Maybe the french girl was just faking it to get her mother's book published? What was with Marcel's daughter freaking out about the dead mother's accident? Maybe they made an agreement to pretend not to recognize each other but they were actually both there and the frenech girl was just a retelling of the book the writer wrote? What's the world come to?
