For the past 25 years, in heralded films like Barbara, Phoenix, and Transit, acclaimed German director Christian Petzold has charted the boundary between the living and the dead, the real and the unreal. The auteur continues devising new ways to traverse that liminal space with Miroirs No. 3—an early contender for the best film of the year.
Another of Petzold’s masterful tales about ghosts, transitions, and the links between then and now, the drama—which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, and arrives in U.S. theaters on March 20—is a haunting story about Laura (Paula Beer), who in the wake of a car accident that kills her boyfriend comes to reside with a stranger, Betty (Barbara Auer).
