BFI London Film Festival

Frantz: Ozon and Niney at their best

François Ozon's latest feature, Frantz, is a stylistically rich, emotionally restrained historical endeavour. It is led by strong performances from Pierre Niney and Paula Beer. This Franco-German co-production, selected for the 2016 BFI London Film Festival's Official Competition, takes place in the immediate aftermath of World War I. With ink on the Treaty of Versailles yet to dry and resentments on each side of the border at fever pitch, a young German woman, Anna (Beer), mourns her fiancé killed in action at the front. Giving his name to Ozon's film though not present in the present, Frantz looms large over all proceedings.
