Frantz Page #5

Synopsis: In 1919 Quedlinburg, Germany, a young woman named Anna is still mourning the death of her fiance, Frantz Hoffmeister, in the Great War while living with his equally devastated parents. One day, a mysterious Frenchman, Adrien Rivoire, comes to town both to pay his respects to Frantz's grave and to contact that soldier's parents. Although it is difficult for both sides with the bitterness of Germany's defeat, Adrian explains that he knew Frantz and gradually he wins Anna and the Hoffmeisters' hearts as he tries to connect with them. Unfortunately, Adrien and Anna discover the truth of his motives and things seem shattered for all. However, when Adrien leaves, Anna has her own struggles with the truth and her feelings until she sets out to find Adrien in France. With that, Anna has her own journey to make in more than one sense, even as they both realize that neither have easy answers to their complex personal conflicts with each other and the dead man linking them.

Anna ... Anna. Please calm down.

Where will you sleep tonight?

Stay. Leave early tomorrow morning, if that's what you want.

Noone is angry at you.

I will explain to them,

I...

Forgive me, Anna.

You're right.

Do as you want.

Good night, Anna.

Are you taking her?

Yes.

- Fanny didn't say anything? - No.

She's not jealous?

She has no reason to be.

So why make her come here?

I already told you that Anna came here on her own.

Please. I was not born yesterday.

She came to...

To say he had forgiven me. That's all.

What innocence! What naivet!

That's why I adore you.

- Do not touch me. - Adrien...

My darling...

Anna... You're ready.

- Yes - Very well.

I'll get the car.

You know, Anna,

my son is very fragile.

Do not torment him.

I am not the one tormenting him.

It's Frantz.

Thank you.

How long have you known Fanny?

From childhood.

We lost touch when I left for Paris.

And when I came back from the front,

we found each other again.

She helped me a lot.

She too

has lost family. - Her brother?

Yes.

I liker her brother very much.

You know, Anna...

It's my mother who wants this marriage.

It makes her feel better.

Fanny...

She's courageous and she's always loved me.

Tell me...

Would you come to our wedding, next month?

Fanny and I ...

would like that.

I don't think so.

Paris Express is leaving. Close the doors, please.

Anna...

It's too late.

Be happy, Anna.

Hans?

Yes?

A letter from Anna.

- Anna? - Yes.

"Dear Parents

I am writing from Paris

where I finally found Adrien.

He's fine

and sends his love.

He is now first violin

for Orchestre de Paris,

and every night I go to the opera

to listen to him play.

For private concerts,

sometimes he asks me to join him at the piano.

We have a wonderful time,

he is showing me Paris

and all the sights

Frantz was telling us about.

Yesterday at the Louvre,

We saw Manet's paintings.

I would love for you to

be here

to share these moments.

I do not know when I'll come back,

I am happy in Paris,

in the city

Frantz loved so much.

Take care of yourselves,

Take care of yourselves,

All my Love,

Anna."

Do you love this painting too?

Yes...

It makes me want to live.

François Ozon

François Ozon (French: [fʁɑ̃.swa o.zɔ̃]; born 15 November 1967) is a French film director and screenwriter whose films are usually characterized by sharp satirical wit and a freewheeling view on human sexuality. He has achieved international acclaim for his films 8 femmes (2002) and Swimming Pool (2003). Ozon is considered to be one of the most important French film directors in the new "New Wave" in French cinema such as Jean-Paul Civeyrac, Philippe Ramos, and Yves Caumon, as well as a group of French filmmakers associated with a "cinema du corps/cinema of the body". more…
