‘The Fox’
In this real-life story set during World War II, motorcycle dispatcher Franz Streitberger (Simon Morzé) finds an injured fox cub and adopts it. As Franz looks after his new furry friend in occupied France, the sinister shadow of war threatens to sever their bond.The slow-burn aspect of this German film’s narrative allows the viewer to become invested in the protagonist’s life story—further enhanced by naturalistic acting and a subtle score. While lacking in action, the film’s psychological ramifications leave a lasting impression.
