Transit
NAME OF FILM: TRANSIT
DIRECTOR(S): Christian Petzold
STARRING: Franz Rogowski, Paula Beer, Godehard Giese
GENRE: Drama Film
SYNOPSIS: Franz Rogowski turns in a career-making performance as Georg, an average man trying to escape France. Asked to deliver papers to a subversive author, Georg instead becomes caught in an existential cat-and-mouse game, taking on the identity of a presumed-dead doctor and becoming involved with the doctor’s mysterious lover Marie (Paula Beer), who also longs to escape the increasingly claustrophobic confines of wartime France. Petzold, the unofficial leader of the “Berlin school” of filmmaking, delivers perhaps his finest work to date with the taut, crystalline Transit.
