The internationally acclaimed cinema of German director Christian Petzold returns to the Film Society this Friday with Transit, a brilliant and haunting story of a European refugee who arrives in Marseille assuming the identity of a dead novelist after escaping two concentration camps.
Back in December we celebrated Petzold’s illustrious career with a full retrospective, during which the director joined us for a sneak preview of Transit. Listen to our Q&A with Petzold below or click here to listen and subscribe on iTunes.
