FRANTZ

Watchable. Black and white for the present, brownish hues for the past and full colour for... hopes. A subtle tale about illusions we prefer to live. Well acted, with both languages spoken clearly. You just sit and get engulfed. The ending is very in line with the whole but also feels fake since that unwavering optimism isn't properly justified.

DIE HASCHENSCHULE - JAGD NACH DEM GOLDENEN EI (RABBIT SCHOOL - GUARDIANS OF THE GOLDEN EGG)

Recommended. You thought Easter preparations were hard? All the spring cleaning and Easter baking is nothing in comparison to what Easter bunnies have to endure: tough training on an obstacle course from dawn to after dusk, cold baths and fighting sly, treacherous, ravenous foxes to whom the rabbits smell just too enticing. The rabbitesque dialogues are fun, the animation is delightful and the bunnies cute. I'd love to jump into the Rabbit School myself.
