Join us for a free screening of François Ozon’s critically acclaimed film Frantz, as seen at the 2017 New Zealand International Film Festival.

Victors write history and the First World War is no exception. Frantz shows the “other side” of the aftermath of the Great War, following the grieving widow of a German soldier and her journey to forgiveness and healing. Starring Pierre Niney, Paula Beer, Anton von Lucke, and Ernst Stötzner.

This beautifully presented French/German language film is being shown in conjunction with the current exhibition Goodbye to all that: Armistice 1918 in the Turnbull Gallery.
