Germany/2023—directed by Christian Petzold | 102 minutes

The neurotic Leon (Thomas Schubert) and his laidback friend Felix (Langston Uibel) are on their way to a peaceful stay at a  tranquil seaside summer house. Halfway there, the car breaks down—a sign of things to come, in this new film from director Christian Petzold. They arrive to find Nadja (Paula Beer), a surprise roommate. Personalities clash, tempers flare, resentments emerge, and forest fires in the distance turn the skies orange. The Hollywood Reporter called it “… a deceptively simple and straightforward but emotionally layered film, nicely acted by the tight ensemble.” In German with English subtitles.
