Review of Frantz (2016) by Deborah S — 10 Oct 2018
If this were a book I'd have thrown it against the wall when I finished. It pretends to turn the tropes of melodrama and romance into some grand statement about the vagaries of war and the borderless humanity that unites us, but truly, it's just a depressing, narcissistic literary novel about a pasty-faced selfish French man/boy who doesn't care if he torments the grieving family and fiancee of a WW1 German soldier.
BAH.
