Phoenix Cover Image DVD DVD

Phoenix [German] [1 DVD - 98 min.] / Sundance Selects and The Match Factory present ; a Schramm Film Koerner & Weber production ; in cooperation with Tempus Film ; director, Christian Petzold.

Summary:

Set in a rubble-strewn Berlin in 1945, is like no other film about post-World War II Jewish identity. After surviving Auschwitz, a former cabaret perfromer, her face disfigured and reconstructed, returns to her war-ravaged hometown to seek out the gentile husband who may or may not have betrayed her to the Nazis. Without recognizing her, he enlists her to play his wife in a bizarre hall-of-shattered-mirrors story that's as richly metaphorical as it is preposterously engrossing.
