"illustrates yet again how this cinematic master is truly a worthy successor to Hitchcock" Boston Herald<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cA haunting but hopeful portrait of how forgiveness can ease pain and love can overcome the heaviest of burdens.\u201d Little White Lies<\/i><\/p>\n

Loosely based on Ernst Lubitsch\u2019s 1932 anti-war film Broken Lullaby<\/i>, Ozon\u2019s film gives us romance, riddles and lies. Starting in Germany in 1919, Anna observes a young Frenchman at the grave of her fianc\u00e9 Frantz, which leads us into a complex and ambiguous story, touching on truth, anger and grief.<\/p>\n
