Ghosts
Christian Petzold In Person
March 16 - 21
The spectral figures of Christian Petzold’s Ghosts are young nomads on the margins of Europe’s economy, two women drifting between foster homes and menial jobs who forge an ambiguous but tender alliance.
The spectral figures at the center of Christian Petzold’s dark, oneiric film (the second in his “ghost trilogy”) are young nomads on the margins of Europe’s economy. Following a violent altercation in a Berlin park, Nina and Toni—two young women drifting between state institutions, foster homes, and menial work programs—forge an ambiguous but tender alliance. But an encounter with a well-to-do French couple convinced that Nina is their long-lost daughter, kidnapped as a toddler, reveals physical and mental scars and exposes them to the cruel indifference of the world. 35mm print courtesy of the Goethe-Institut/German Film Office.
