The cycle dedicated to the German Christian Petzold ends, one of today's great filmmakers, made in collaboration with the D'A Barcelona Film Festival, the Goethe Institut and the Film Library of Catalonia. In the last week of programming of the season, Petzold's last three works shine. Ondine (2020) is a story that surprisingly combines reality and fantasy, romantic fable and spirit intrigue noir. The magnificent work of its protagonist, the actress Paula Beer, it was awarded at the Berlinale and at the European Cinema Awards. In his next film, The red sky (2023), Petzold baffles and ironizes with the fragile masculinity and internal tensions of his characters; the film won the Grand Jury Prize in Berlin. And his most recent title, Mirrors no.. 3 (2025), it is a story about grief and identity, full of secrets, subtleties and corners.
