Film Thursdays: Frantz Screening with Monica Macansantos
About the Event
Join Shearing Fellow Monica Macansantos and BMI on Thursday, February 6th, at 6pm in FDH 109 for a free screening of the 2016 French/German drama Frantz. The film will begin at 6 PM, followed by a conversation.
About the film: Anna is a bereft young German woman whose fiance, Frantz, was killed in the trenches of World War I. Adrien, a French veteran of the war, makes a mysterious appearance in her town, placing flowers on Frantz’s grave. Adrien’s presence is met with resistance by the small community still reeling from Germany’s defeat, yet Anna gradually becomes closer to the handsome and melancholy young man, as she learns of his deep friendship with Frantz.
