(Fra/Ger/US 2016)

In 1919 a German girl falls in love with the French soldier who has killed her fiancee.
Compelling continuation of the plot of Lubitsch's Broken Lullaby, where the heroine journeys further into France to find out more. Gimmicky in its use of colour to emphasize the warmer emotional moments,but otherwise quite well held together and movingly played.
