Christian Petzold: The State We Are In
November 30 - December 13, 2018
This variation on the 1945 film noir classic Detour follows a homeless drifter’s search for his ex-lover-turned-prostitute on a desperate odyssey along the sunlit autobahns of 1990s Europe.
Extending his fascination with genre cinema, Petzold’s second feature is a made-for-television variation on the 1945 noir Detour, transposing Ulmer’s Poverty Row classic from the gloomy backroads of postwar America to the drab railway stations and sunlit autobahns of 1990s Europe. Across this colorless landscape, homeless drifter Tom tracks ex-lover-turned-prostitute Tina with the questionable assistance of a slick rich guy named Jimmy, pursuing parallel paths on a desperate odyssey westward that just might lead all the way to Cuba.
