Jul 22, 2023
Christian Petzold, director of Afire, discusses his new film, a visually striking melodrama set in a seaside town threatened by wildfires. The conversation touches on the film's transformation from comedy to psychological complexity, personal experiences with COVID-19, and the absence of summer movies in Germany, possibly linked to its history with fascism.
