UNDINE TBC
FILM ★★★★☆
OUT 2 APRIL CINEMAS, CURZON HOME CINEMA
According to legend, an undine is a water nymph who can become mortal if she falls in love with a human – whose own death is assured should they ever betray her. Germany’s Christian Petzold (Yella, Transit) coolly uses this myth as the basis for a sleek modern fantasy that combines impeccable craftsmanship with dreamy sensuality in its story of a Berlin historian (Paula Beer) whose romance with an industrial diver (Franz Rogowski) is complicated by an unfaithful ex.
