Description

Product Description 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 s lost generation : Anna (21 year-old Paula Beer in a breakthrough performance), a bereft young German woman whose fiancé, Frantz, was killed during trench warfare, and Adrien (Pierre Niney, Yves Saint Laurent), a French veteran of the war who shows up mysteriously in her town, placing flowers on Frantz s grave. Adrien's presence is met with resistance by the small community still reeling from Germany s 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's characters wrestle with their conflicting feelings - survivor s guilt, anger at one s 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 Ernst Lubitsch s 1932 drama Broken Lullaby, with stunning visual references to painter Caspar David Friedrich. 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

Bonus Content: Romain Duris: Portrait of an "Actress" 10 Bonus Deleted Scenes 2015 Theatrical Trailer Review Delectably entertaining. A skillfully triangulated psychological thriller... with an air of Hitchcockian menace and free-floating sexual perversity. --Justin Chang, Variety Subversive, Playful and Brilliant. A twisty, joyously perverse film... with mischievous humor and an understated strain of Hitchcockian suspense. --David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
