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
Phoenix
War brings countless scars, both on the skin and in the soul. The movie addresses them all, using Nelly Lenz's suffering as a metaphor for the pains that remain after the conflict.
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.

When You Finish Saving the World
The debut of the star Jesse Eisenberg in directing feature films, also as the screenwriter, "When You Finish Saving the World" brings all the essence of "Lady Bird," Greta Gerwig's Oscar-nominated film: a teenager (Finn Wolfhard) feels lost in life while performing musical acts online about subjects of his age, while his mother (Julianne Moore), the director of a shelter for women victims of abuse, doesn't see him as an engaged person. That's where the worlds of the two collide: the boy starts trying to become more politically aware, not just to impress his mother, but also to catch the attention of a girl (Alisha Boe) at school; meanwhile, Moore's character starts treating one of the boys in the shelter, the son of a victim, as if he were her own child. It's a painful drama that, despite some simplifications and the natural irritation that arises from insufferable characters (what can you expect from Eisenberg, right?), has a soul and a heart to address the complexity of mother-child relationships.
