November 19/26 2015 Phoenix/The Wonders (TBC) The Final Two Weeks of the Series
Phoenix
A spellbinding mystery of identity illusion and deception unfolds against the turmoil of post-World War II Germany in the stunning new film from acclaimed director Christian Petzold (Barbara Jerichow). Nelly (Nina Hoss) a German-Jewish nightclub singer has survived a concentration camp but with her face disfigured by a bullet wound. After undergoing reconstructive surgery Nelly emerges with a new face one similar but different enough that her former husband Johnny (Ronald Zehrfeld) doesn't recognize her. Rather than reveal herself Nelly walks into a dangerous game of duplicity and disguise as she tries to figure out if the man she loves may have been the one who betrayed her to the Nazis. Evoking the shadows and haunted mood of post-war Berlin Phoenix weaves a complex tale of a nation's tragedy and a woman's search for answers as it builds towards an unforgettable heart-stopping climax.

The Wonders
Rohrwacher's richly textured sophomore feature centers on a family of beekeepers living in stark isolation in central Italy. The dynamic of their overcrowded household is disrupted by the simultaneous arrival of a silently troubled teenaged boy taken in as a farmhand and a production crew recruiting local farmers to participate in a cheesy televised celebration of ancient Etruscan culture presented by the mysterious Milly Catena (Monica Bellucci). Both intrusions are of particular interest to the eldest daughter Gelsomina who is struggling to find her footing in the world and Rohrwacher manages to convey her adolescent sense of wonder and confusion with characteristically graceful naturalism.
