Frantz

An elegiac tale of love and remembrance set in a small German town in the aftermath of the First World War, where a young woman mourning the death of her fiancé forms a bond with a mysterious Frenchman who has arrived to lay flowers on her beloved’s grave. Director François Ozon wanders into unconventional territory in this astonishingly beautiful and inquisitive remake of Ernst Lubitsch’s film, Broken Lullaby, using it as a springboard for a profound look at alienation and grief.
