MOVIE REVIEW
Entrancing in all the ways I normally can’t tolerate, Frantz is an undeniably well-made drama that works much better than it has any right to. About a young Frenchman who arrives in Germany shortly after the end of World War I claiming to have known a family’s dead son—and the budding relationship he develops with the son’s fiancée—Frantz thrives on a thoughtful script, the restrained direction by François Ozon and terrific performances by Paula Beer and Pierre Niney.
