    JERICHOW

    CHRISTIAN PETZOLD Germany, 2008

    Starring Nina Hoss, Jerichow is an elegantly crafted genre exercise that plays with the rules of the thriller. Partially adapting James M. Cain’s The Postman Always Rings Twice, this is an absorbing, noir-tinged tale of lust, envy, and deceit, which offers a biting critique of capitalist ambition.

    YELLA

    CHRISTIAN PETZOLD Germany, 2007

    Sex, capitalism, German reunification, loneliness—this extraordinary thriller is haunted by all manner of thematic spectres. A dazzling reimagining of the subversive genre classic Carnival of Souls, Yella is one of Christian Petzold’s very best, with a monumental Nina Hoss front and center.

    THE STATE I AM IN

    CHRISTIAN PETZOLD Germany, 2000

    Christian Petzold displayed a rare gift for genre subversion from the very start. At once a coming-of-age tale and terrorists-on-the-run thriller, his debut feature uses the former to comment on the latter—its mutable young protagonist serving as a proxy for a nation surveying its traumatic past.

    EVOLUTION

    KORNÉL MUNDRUCZÓ Hungary, 2021

    Following the Oscar®-nominated Pieces of a Woman, Kornél Mundruczó and Kata Wéber once again draw on familial history in this time-jumping, multilingual reflection on the lasting horrors of the Holocaust. While the scars of the past can never fade, this powerful drama gazes towards a healing future.
