What the critics say
Based on 14 reviews, Frantz gets an average review score of 68
You’ll want to check it out for a whole host of reasons, but the biggest one is to watch the 22-year-old German actress Paula Beer. Her luminous eyes and expressive face provide a constantly shifting map of grief, hope, and longing. She’s a real discovery.
2957d ago
French filmmaker Francois Ozon's latest, inspired by Ernst Lubitsch's 'Broken Lullaby,' is his first film mostly in German and in black and white.
2957d ago
Frantz takes pains to show both sides’ lingering hostility after a devastating and (the movie implies) senseless war.
2957d ago
The prolific French film-maker tones down his often colourful palette to offer a loose adaptation of the 1932 Ernst Lubitsch drama Broken Lullaby, anchored beautifully by German actor Paula Beer.
2957d ago
One must not look further than Swimming Pool and In the House to see Ozon’s fascination with fiction/perception and how he absolutely excels in tackling such subjects given the right material.
2957d ago
Francois Ozon's beguiling tale of a German widow and a Gallic stranger takes on xenophobic hatred that's as timely as Trump.
2957d ago
They should have taken the You’ve Got Mail route with this Lubitsch remake, Frantz.
2957d ago
As Adrien, Pierre Niney is extraordinary to behold: pale, tapered, and flickering, like a candle made flesh.
2957d ago
After the Great War, a Frenchman’s surprising gesture of reconciliation leads to the beginnings of a romance.
2957d ago
Set immediately after World War I, Frantz, the latest by the prolific François Ozon, is structured by, and titled after, an absence: a young German soldier killed in battle.
2957d ago
François Ozon remakes Ernst Lubitsch’s anti-war drama “Broken Lullaby,” expanding the melodrama while soft-pedalling the pacifism.
2957d ago
The auteur’s examination of the perils of nationalism delivers most of its points with far too heavy a hand.
2957d ago
The pacing is so funereal that it squelches the possibility of heat or conflict arising between the characters.
2957d ago
Over the past 20 years or so, Francois Ozon has proven himself to be one of France’s most daring and audacious filmmakers through such works as “See the Sea,” "Under the Sand," "8 Women,” “Swimming Pool,” “Young and Beautiful” and “The New Girlfriend.”
