Frantz

Synopsis

Frantz, the latest film from beloved French director François Ozon, is a “richly imagined” (Hollywood Reporter) hypnotic tale of love and remembrance in the wake of the First World War. In what critics are calling “Ozon’s best film in years” (IndieWire), Frantz explores the strange bond that forms between a grieving German widow and the mysterious Frenchman she meets at her fiancé’s grave. Featuring a “stunning” lead performance from Paula Beer, this “sumptuous period drama” (The Guardian) has drawn comparisons to Christian Petzold’s Phoenix, and heralds a powerful new work from a master craftsman.
