Christian Petzold | Germany | 2023 | 102m | German with English subtitles
with Thomas Schubert, Paula Beer, Langston Uibel, Enno Trebs, Matthias Brandt

While vacationing by the Baltic Sea, writer Leon (Thomas Schubert) and photographer Felix (Langston Uibel) are surprised by the presence of Nadja (Paula Beer), a mysterious young woman staying as a guest at Felix’s family’s holiday home. Nadja distracts Leon from finishing his latest novel and with brutal honesty, forces him to confront his caustic temperament and self-absorption. As Nadja and Leon grow closer, an encroaching forest fire threatens the group and tensions escalate when a handsome lifeguard and Leon's tight-lipped book editor also arrive. Christian Petzold’s acclaimed latest was the winner of the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival.

Warning: This film features wildfires.

"Few of this summer’s movies burn as fiercely as Christian Petzold’s ‘Afire’" -Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times

"The film’s great, disorienting structural risks, its humoring of human untidiness and confusion, that make it so subtly thrilling and moving." -Guy Lodge, Variety - Critic's Pick
