After losing her fiancé, Frantz, during World War I, Anna discovers Adrian, a French friend to the German soldier for whom she grieves. Adrian draws Anna out of sadness and restores her hope, only to confess a terrible secret and disappear. Adapting Lubitsch’s classic melodrama Broken Lullaby, French director François Ozon delivers a sumptuous period piece that asks whether a lie can ever be healthier than the truth. Q&A follows with professors Jakub Kazecki, German, and Mary Rice-DeFosse, French. FMI lballadu@bates.edu.
