Undine


Christian Petzold | Germany | 2020 | 91m | German with English subtitles
with Paula Beer, Franz Rogowski, Maryam Zaree

Undine is Christian Petzold's reimagining of the Undine myth updated to modern Berlin. Undine works as a historian lecturing on Berlin’s urban development. But when the man she loves leaves her, is she really fated to kill the man who betrays her and return to the water?

"'Undine' is a poker-faced fairy tale, a fantasy wrought by a committed cinematic realist. It's an example of how a filmmaker can take an outlandish central idea and play it beautifully straight." -Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times

"Playing with myth, Berlin history, and emotional trauma, Petzold crafts a film both unsettling and uniquely memorable." -Christopher Schobert, Filmswoon
