Wartime stories are kind a worn out genre, even
in Europe, which tried to give them some more humane touch (”A very longengagement”, ”Atonement”, ”Enemy at the gates”).
”Frantz” is
one of those humane dramas about the gallantry and knighthood between the
enemies and a discreet love triangle that emerges among the hatred and fresh
wounds after the ending of First World War.
Slow tempo
and gradual building of tension will seduce the viewer in the first part of the
movie, but will leave the story open and pretty much without the required
climax and outcome.
”Frantz” is
a solid piece of war/love drama, but not a special one as well.
