French German Film Festival

Frantz

We’re screening Frantz (2019), a powerful French-German drama by director François Ozon. It’s a moving story of grief, love, and unexpected connection.

Set just after World War I, the film follows Adrien, a French soldier burdened by guilt, as he travels to Germany to face the family of a man he killed. What begins as a story of sorrow slowly unfolds into something deeper—about memory, forgiveness, and the quiet process of healing. Visually striking and emotionally rich, Frantz received 11 César nominations and won an award at the Venice Film Festival.

Whether you're into history, great storytelling, or just looking for a film that makes you think: this one’s worth your time. Plus, stick around for a discussion afterward, where we’ll explore the film’s themes and ideas.

As always, it's free for students and staff! No need to sign up.

This event is brought to you in collaboration with European Studies.
