TRANSIT (USA, 2018, 105mins, Cert PG) Auteur Christian Petzold’s adaptation of Anna Seghers’ novel is a brilliantly realised haunting, allegorical thriller. In its timeless narrative, the film explores questions of loss of homeland, identity and the desperate trauma of displaced refugees. Existentially blurring the past with modern times, the film shows how little has changed in the intervening years between its
WW 2 setting and the present day.

AGUIRRE, WRATH OF GOD (Mexico/Germany, 1972, 95mins, Subtitled, Cert PG)
Shot entirely on location in the Amazonian jungle, this film stars the legendarily volatile Klaus Kinski as a power-crazed 16th century Spanish explorer who leads an unruly band of conquistadors on a doomed expedition in search of El Dorado, the fabled City of Gold. A visceral, ambitious exploration of megalomania and savage beauty, the film remains one of Werner Herzog’s most outstanding directorial achievements and one of German cinema’s all time totemic masterpieces.
