FSLC announces Christian Petzold: The State We Are In, November 30 – December 13
“Petzold refuses movie clichés as strongly as he does political orthodoxy. At once regionally specific and a student of all cinema, he draws on numerous traditions and makes them his own.” – Manohla Dargis
The Film Society of Lincoln Center announces Christian Petzold: The State We Are In, the largest U.S. retrospective to date of the acclaimed German director, featuring his shorts, features, and rarely seen television work alongside a selection of films that have influenced him, November 30 – December 13.
A founding member of the loose movement known as the Berlin School, Christian Petzold makes films that are like no one else’s. At once intricately engaged with the real world and steeped in cinema history, his works radically reimagine such genres as film noir, thriller, melodrama, and the spy drama, offering narrative mysteries, enigmatic protagonists immersed in even more enigmatic circumstances, an incomparable sense of atmosphere and style, and surprising links between Germany’s turbulent past and its fragile present. The expanse of his career to date—including several inventive films made for television—affirms his status as one of contemporary cinema’s premier directors, and the Film Society is honored to host Petzold in person for this retrospective.
Highlights of Christian Petzold: The State We Are In include the director’s collaborations with German actress and frequent muse Nina Hoss, including Jerichow, Wolfsburg, and Something to Remind Me; Cuba Libre, a television variation on the 1945 noir Detour; the genre-bending Beats Being Dead (NYFF49), made for the miniseries Dreileben; Barbara (NYFF50), a Cold War thriller centered around a doctor planning to flee East Germany for Denmark; The State I Am In, Ghosts,and Yella, the films that make up his Ghosts trilogy; and a sneak preview of his latest masterwork, Transit (NYFF56), a haunting, conceptually daring portrait of a refugee based on German author Anna Seghers’s 1944 novel Transit. In addition to his features, the retrospective will offer a selection of Petzold’s short film work, including the experimental Süden, screening with his film school graduation project Pilots, and Where Are You, Christian Petzold?, screening alongside the exquisitely crafted Phoenix.
The series also includes a program dedicated to Petzold’s late friend and collaborator Harun Farocki, featuring screenings of Farocki’s The Interview (a source text for The Sex Thief) and Nothing Ventured (an inspiration for Yella), as well as Carte Blanche: Christian Petzold Selects, a selection of six films chosen by Petzold that have inspired his own work. Titles include Vincente Minnelli’s Some Came Running, François Truffaut’s penultimate film The Woman Next Door, Joachim Trier’s Oslo, August 31st, Xavier Beauvois’s The Young Lieutenant, and John Berry’s He Ran All the Way, paired with Jean Renoir’s A Day in the Country.
Organized by Dennis Lim and Dan Sullivan. Presented in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut, with support from German Films.
