FRANTZ<\/h2>\nFRANTZ<\/h2>\n| 2017 – 113′ –\u00a0\u00a0Drama\u00a0 – Set in Germany and France in the immediate aftermath of the First World War, (1914-1918), Frantz recalls the mourning period that follows great national tragedies as seen through the eyes of the war\u2019s \u201clost generation\u201d: Anna (21 year-old Paula Beer in a breakthrough performance), a bereft young German woman whose fianc\u00e9, Frantz, was killed during trench warfare, and Adrien (Pierre Niney), a French veteran of the war who shows up mysteriously in her town, placing flowers on Frantz\u2019s grave. Adrien\u2019s presence is met with resistance by the small community still reeling from Germany\u2019s defeat, yet Anna gradually gets closer to the handsome and melancholy young man, as she learns of his deep friendship with Frantz, conjured up in evocative flashbacks. What follows is a surprising exploration of how Ozon\u2019s characters\u2019 wrestle with their conflicting feelings \u2013 survivor\u2019s guilt, anger at one\u2019s losses, the overriding desire for happiness despite everything that has come before, and the longing for sexual, romantic and familial attachments. Ozon drew his inspiration from a post-WWI play by Maurice Rostand that inspired the 1932 film adaption by Ernst Lubitsch under the title BROKEN LULLABY.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n FRANTZ | 2017 – 113′ –\u00a0\u00a0Drama\u00a0 – Written by\u00a0Fran\u00e7ois Ozon, Philippe Piazzo,\u00a0Ernst Lubitsch.
