Its eponymous protag may sprout wings, but Francois Ozon's latest, "Ricky," never really takes flight. Baffling tale of a baby who literally can't wait to fly the parental nest starts off as a kitchen-sink drama before moving into an uneasy mix of comedy and the grotesque, with character development replaced by airborne action in the second half. Some might detect an elaborate parenthood metaphor, but most auds will simply shrug their shoulders. "Ricky" opens in Gaul Feb. 11 on the heels of its Berlinale preem, but is unlikely to make the trek across the Atlantic.
Though inspired, like Ozon's previous pic, "Angel," by an English literary work -- in this case a Rose Tremain short story -- "Ricky" has more in common with some of the helmer's earliest efforts, including his feature debut, "Sitcom," in which the arrival of a freaky newcomer (a rat) throws a family into disarray.
