Galeries, Bozar, and the Goethe-Institut are organizing a Christian Petzold offensive. It’s about time
The director from Berlin is a master of films that focus on the mechanisms that humans use to survive in repressive systems. Petzold himself is coming to introduce Barbara, about a doctor who wants to flee East Germany in 1980, and Phoenix, about a Jewish woman who returns from a concentration camp mutilated and receives a face transplant.
The highlight is the première of Transit, which transposes the 1940s story of refugees who hope to escape from fascism by boat to today’s context. It is not artificial. It is worryingly easy to find both refugees and fascists nowadays.
CHRISTIAN PETZOLD 30/9 > 11/11, Cinema Galeries & Bozar
