Description

A Gripping Noirish Study of Treachery, Identity and Survival. An evocative and haunting drama, set in rubble-strewn 1945 Berlin. A masterful exploration of human identity through the eyes of a Jewish-German holocaust survivor. Former cabaret singer (Nina Hoss) has her bullet-disfigured face reconstructed and returns home to seek out her gentile husband, who may or may not have betrayed her to the Nazis. Without recognizing her, he enlists her to play his wife in a bizarre hall-of-shattered-mirrors story that is as richly metaphorical as it is preposterously engrossing. Revenge film or tale of romantic reconciliation? One doesn’t know until the stunning final scene of this masterpiece from Christian Petzold, one of the most important figures in contemporary German cinema. An intimate screening of the finest international, independent, and documentary films, many premiering for the first time in Tennessee.  We showcase movies that creatively address the most important religious, cultural, and social aspects of human life with passion and inspiration.
