Frantz (12A)
The largely black and white Frantz takes place in 1919, when a young woman Anna discovers the mysterious Adrien laying flowers at her eponymous fiancé’s grave in a small German town. Adrien claims to be Frantz’s friend from his student days in Paris before the war and, moved by his connection to her lost love, Anna introduces him to her late fiancé’s parents. Initially resistant to Frantz they nevertheless come to embrace this charming young man, finding solace in his presence. The film is in distinctly Ozonian territory, exploring themes of alienation and grief and adding newcomer Paula Beer to the long line of immensely talented women Ozon has directed.
