About the Series

At once intricately engaged with the real world and steeped in film history, the films of Christian Petzold radically reimagine such genres as film noir, thriller, melodrama, and the spy drama, offering narrative mysteries, enigmatic protagonists immersed in even more enigmatic circumstances, an incomparable sense of atmosphere and style, and surprising links between Germany’s turbulent past and its fragile present. On the occasion of the release of his hauntingly beautiful new film Miroirs No. 3 on March 20, FLC is delighted to welcome Petzold back to present a selection of his enduringly rich previous works alongside his remarkable latest.
