Franz und Anna, directed by Robert-Adrian Pejo, is a slow burn of a drama that pulls you into the lush yet oppressive atmosphere of a late 19th-century mountain village. The film really digs into themes of morality versus human desire, brilliantly showcased through the character of Franz Gattl, a teacher who seems dedicated yet is surrounded by the unspoken fears and flaws of his community. The performances are nuanced, capturing the quiet desperation of a time when societal expectations often clash with personal truths. The pacing might feel languid for some, but it allows the tension to build subtly. It’s a film that lingers, making you appreciate how the setting becomes as much a character as the people inhabiting it.
