Inspired by Ernst Lubitsch’s 1932 drama Broken Lullaby, this beautifully photographed mystery is set in a small town in Germany after World War I. A young girl named Anna mourns her fiancé, Frantz and visits his grave often. One day she discovers a Frenchman named Adrien laying flowers on the gravesite. He tells Anna that he and Frantz were friends while stationed in France during the war and reveals details of their time together. Cautious at first, Anna takes him home to visit her parents who slowly warm to him, eager to learn more about his friendship with Frantz. One day Adrien reveals a dark secret to Anna which changes everything.

Reviews

Astonishingly beautiful and inquisitive. It’s impossible to deny the sheer narrative sophistication.
