In the House (Dans la maison) is a 2012 French drama film directed by François Ozon, starring Fabrice Luchini, Kristin Scott Thomas, Ernst Umhauer, Emmanuelle Seigner and Denis Ménochet.Germain (Luchini) teaches literature in a high school. He generally despairs over the poor writing skills of his pupils, so he is suprised when one of them, Claude (Umhauer), hands in a well-written assignment about his week-end. Germain realizes that Claude has a gift for writing and he decides to help him to improve his style.Not to be confused with the sitcom of the same name. | |

Unreliable Narrator: It is never clear if what Claude writes really happened or if he imagined it. | |

Gratuitous German | |
In the House / int_35fb9016 | comment |
Gratuitous German: Claude knows German and he translate for Esther the titles of paintings by Paul Klee (Zerstörung, Unterbrechung, Hoffnung and Rettung). Germain also asks Claude if he intends to write a Bildungsroman (a coming of age novel). | |

Stalker without a Crush | |
In the House / int_3b4185fb | comment |
Stalker Without A Crush: Claude stalked the Artoles last year. He watched them in their house from a bench in the park. (At that time, he did not seem to be attracted to Esther yet, he just wanted to watch the life of a normal family.) | |

Wise Beyond Their Years | |
In the House / int_4f773434 | comment |
Wise Beyond Their Years: Downplayed because Claude is a teenager and not a child, but he is intelligent and mature for his age. He manipulates a teacher, a classmate and his parents easily. | |

Driven to Suicide: According to Claude's text, Rapha Junior committed suicide after seeing Claude kissing Esther. Subverted, because it is revealed to be false. | |

Stepford Smiler | |
In the House / int_83a903f6 | comment |
Stepford Smiler: Claude is initially attracted to the Artoles because they are a normal family that does not seem to have any problem. Yet, he quickly figures out that they have some problems. Esther, in particular, is bored with her life and probably takes antidepressants. This explains why she is receptive to Claude's advances. | |

Enfant Terrible: Downplayed because Claude is a teenager and not a child, but he manipulates several people just for his own amusement and does not care if he hurts their feelings, ruins their career or marriage. | |

Coming of Age Story | |
In the House / int_b1e8a3b3 | comment |
Coming of Age Story: Subverted. Germain asks Claude if he intends to write a Bildungsroman. Obviously, this is not the purpose of Claude's writings. Yet, the film does show the evolution of Claude's romantic relationship with Esther and friendly relationship with Rapha Junior, but unlike in coming of age stories, the protagonist does not learn anything over the course of the story. He seems to be a natural born manipulator, who understands very well the others' feelings from the start. | |
