Trailer
Why watch this film?
Based on the 1944 novel of the same name written by Anna Seghers, director Christian Petzold (‘Phoenix’, ‘Barbara’) moves the story to an ambiguous present, in a ruined Europe that is only a purgatory for the eternal refugees who are passing through. Like a Kafkaesque version of ‘Casablanca’, ‘Transit’ portrays the love between tortured souls in times of oppression, in a world so abstract and non-specific that it lends itself to parabolic readings at any period of repetitive human history, either in the contemporary context or in World War II when the novel was written.

From the same director
Undine
In 'Undine', German director Christian Petzold ('Phoenix', 'Transit') builds a singular romance story, as unique as the rest of his own filmography. The director leads his narrative by blending formalist rigor with fantastic elements, being one of the most interesting creators of the present to compose this space of the fantastic intertwined with the urban and contemporary. The myth is carefully drawn as a subtext to the narrative, and little by little it invades and permeates the film, until it takes it over completely. The performance of the protagonists Franz Rogowski and Paula Beer, who had already worked together and with the director in the interesting film 'Transit', is sublime, and contains a chemistry that enchants and fills the eyes. The narrative composed in 'Undine' is very reminiscent, in its layers, of Latin American magical realism, and may be one of the films that can best approach the genre outside the continent. It is an immersive and captivating experience, sober and mature.
Drama
Downtown Owl
'Downtown Owl' - Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the closeknit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn't know if she's come to town to get away from home or to find it. Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock also star in this Great Plains dark dramedy directed by Lily Rabe and Hamish Linklater. Based on the novel by Chuck Klosterman.
