| Set in Germany and France in the immediate aftermath of the First WorId War, (1914-1918), Frantz recaIIs the mourning period that foIIows great nationaI tragedies as seen through the eyes of the war s Iost generation : Anna (21 year-old PauIa Beer in a breakthrough performance), a bereft young German woman whose fiancé, Frantz, was kiIled 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 smaIl community stiIl reeIing from Germany s defeat, yet Anna graduaIly gets closer to the handsome and melanchoIy young man, as she learns 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 familiaI attachments. Ozon drew his inspiration from Ernst Lubitsch s 1932 drama Broken LuIlaby, with stunning visuaI references to painter Caspar David Friedrich. |
