GERMAN CURRENTS — FRANZ ROGOWSKI

Leave a reply

Franz Rogowski made an indelible impression last year in Michael Haneke’s Happy End. He returns this weekend in a German Currents double bill featuring the local premiere of TRANSIT—the new film from Christian Petzold. This thriller addressing themes of identity and morality in times of advancing totalitarianism co-stars Paula Beer.

The evening will open with another Los Angeles premiere: Thomas Stuber’s IN DEN GÄNGEN/IN THE AISLES, co-starring Rogowski and Sandra Hüller—whose arresting portrayal of the daughter of the title character in Maren Ade’s Toni Erdmann is a comic highlight of recent world cinema.

MAREN ADE’S EVERYONE ELSE

Leave a reply
Seven years before shooting her masterpiece Toni Erdmann (2016), Maren Ade wrote, produced, and directed EVERYONE ELSE / ALLE ANDEREN.
“Young couple Gitti and Chris are vacationing at Chris’ parents’ villa in Sardinia. Ade’s almost too perceptive window into the relationship spares us none of the details, as the couple’s vacation—with its ample, visual reminders of Éric Rohmer‘s La Collectionneuse—becomes its own bit of prison.”*
