Leaving January 1
Directed by Angela Schanelec | 95 mins | 2019
One of European art cinema’s most distinctive voices, Schanelec—Silver Bear winner for Best Director at this year's Berlinale—orchestrates a tense elliptical drama that’s part psychological close-up, part middle-class Berlin pastiche. Widowed mother-of-two Astrid (Maren Eggert) tries to get a handle on her family, her sorrow, and her teenage son’s absence, with Schanelec refracting her surging emotions through fragmentary vignettes. Featuring a beguiling Franz Rogowski (Passages, Undine).
