TRANSIT (2018)
CHRISTIAN PETZOLD
Plot
A man attempting to escape Nazi-occupied France falls in love with the wife of a dead author whose identity he has assumed. Highly recommended. Imaginative setting, letters of transit, Occupied France, unrequited love, maybe a bit slow, making it seem a bit long at times, and an enigmatic ending, of course. The German actor a doppelgänger of Joaquin Phoenix. A sometimes intense, always intelligent, certainly worthwhile 'art' film set in Paris, Marseilles and your imagination. We all have waited in a bar, a glass of wine in front of us, waiting for a woman we love.
