Christian Petzold
Plot
A drama that won the FIPRESCI prize at Berlin.
Sinekatalog’s take
Christian Petzold's modern fairy tale reimagines a water nymph as a Berlin historian. Paula Beer is luminous, and the film is a cool, dreamlike romance about myth and the city, if a little restrained.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
