Comment on Phoenix Review

Phoenix Review

We have all seen World War II movies. Some take place during the war, some in the run-up to it, and still others in the aftermath. They come in all forms—serious, sad, dramatic, comedic, action-filled—and are made all over the world. Arriving in U.S. theaters this summer following release in its native Germany last year is Phoenix, and if you're looking for a single word to describe it, forget any of the ones above: go with haunting. Starring Nina Hoss in yet another collaboration with writer-director Christian Petzold, Phoenix is the tale of Nelly Lenz (Hoss), a disfigured Jewish woman brought back to Berlin by a good friend, Lene (Nina Kunzendorf), after her time at Auschwitz during the war.
