Christian Petzold on His Mythological Melodrama Undine | NYFF58

NYFF Director of Programming Dennis Lim connects with director Christian Petzold to discuss Undine, the latest from the filmmaker behind Phoenix and Transit, among others. In his new film, the German director injects a mythological element into a lush melodrama about a pair of star-crossed lovers-Undine (Paula Beer), a historian and museum tour guide specializing in urban development, and Christoph, an industrial diver-linked by an affinity for the water.

Yesterday I watched the film in a local "cultural" cinema in Recife, Brazil. It touched me. Glad to see perspectives, myths and debates on the world we live in nowadays.
I invite you all to watch Brazilian movies, too, such as Bacurau, Aquarius, Central Station and any others you find.

Got to see the film in a Movie Theatre in India just today. At a Film Festival of course. This movie needs to be experienced on a large screen. No two ways about it. Brilliant.

Great interview, great film. Not as masterful as Phoenix, but still in my top 10 of the year.

under valued director indeed / there is always DARKNESS in his films- very german ( F.LANG)/ always a discrepancy between a THING and an OBJECT ( Heidegger)
