FRANTZ(2016, FRANCE, GERMANY – French, German)

There is a beguiling plot to the latest film, FRANTZ by FRANCOIS OZON, which is a loose adaptation of the 1932 ERNST LUBITCH drama BROKEN LULLABY. Largely filmed in black and white, the war drama tells the story of a widow named Anna (PAULA BEER) who every day visits the tomb of her fiancé, Frantz (ANTON VON LUCKE), who died in the war in France, and finds her life changed forever when she one day finds another stranger, Adrien (PIERRE NINEY), a young French who has been visiting Frantz’s tomb as well, claiming to have close acquaintance with her fiancé during war. Ozon has dipped his hands in quite a varied range of genre, from the dark comedy musical 8 WOMEN (2002), to the erotic thriller SWIMMING POOL (2003), to the classic Gallic Farce POTISHE (2010). It will be interesting to witness this latest feat from the forty-nine year-old French filmmaker. Selected to compete for the Golden Lion at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival, FRANTZ was released in September 2016. Watch the captivating trailer here
