"...it makes the case for Petzold as the decade's most exemplary foreign arthouse auteur." The Ringer

Boldly based on Anna Seghers’ 1944 novel of the same name, Christian Petzold's Transit blurs time to create a puzzle piece of mistaken identities, a meditation on the spectre of facism and of refugees unstuck from history. Franz Rogowski delivers a breakout performance as Georg, who flees to Marseille after the Nazi invasion. There he assumes the identity of a dead man whose identity and transit papers he possesses. Stuck there, he meets Marie (Paula Beer), a young woman desperate to find her missing husband. It's an audacious multi-layered thriller from one of contemporary cinema's greatest filmmakers.
