Frantz 07/21 Blu-ray (Rental)

Product Description Germany, 1919: Having lost her fiancé Frantz in the Great War, Anna (Paula Beer) was well resigned to a life of joining his parents (Ernst Stötzner, Marie Gruber) in perpetual mourning. One day, however, young Frenchman Adrien (Pierre Niney) began making regular visits to Frantz's grave... and, when approached by Anna, asserted that they'd had a friendship. The two bereaveds form a bond, but will it survive the shocking truth that Adrien harbors? François Ozon's moving remake of Lubitsch's "Broken Lullaby" co-stars Anton von Lucke, Cyrielle Clair. 113 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: French; Subtitles: English. In French with English subtitles. Review Exquisite and haunting...one of the talented director Francois Ozon's very best films. --Dennis Dermody, Paper NYT Critics' Pick. Lyrically seductive. --Stephen Holden, The New York Times Astonishingly beautiful and inquisitive. It is impossible to deny the sheer narrative sophistication. --Eric Kohn, Indiewire
