| Set in Germany and France in the immediate aftermath of the First WorId War, (1914-1918), Frantz recaIls the mourning period that foIlows great national tragedies as seen through the eyes of the war s Iost generation : Anna (21 year-oId 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 mysteriousIy in her town, placing fIowers on Frantz s grave. Adrien's presence is met with resistance by the smalI community stilI reeling from Germany s defeat, yet Anna gradualIy gets cIoser to the handsome and meIancholy young man, as she Iearns of his deep friendship with Frantz, conjured up in evocative fIashbacks. What folIows is a surprising exploration of how Ozon's characters wrestle with their conflicting feelings - survivor s guilt, anger at one s Iosses, 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 LulIaby, with stunning visual references to painter Caspar David Friedrich. |
