Transit    [trailer]

Set in seemingly contemporary times, a man who belongs to a persecuted minority attempts to escape from fascist-run France to America but falls in love with the wife of a dead author whose identity he has assumed.

Very interesting approach, to film a story, that takes place during World War II, in a contemporary setting. It makes the situation feel more immediate, more urgent. Doubly so in the current context of the refugee crisis in Europe.

Though the recited text and the character motivations can be a bit of a challenge.

Transit

directed by Christian Petzold

“You see?”

“Yes. I see. You have a bad conscience and want my blessing.”

“I doubt you’re capable of giving blessings. Or even comfort.”

“They say those who were left never forget. But it’s not true. They have the sweet, sad songs. Pity is with them. Those who leave, no one is with them. They have no songs.”

He no longer knew how long he had watched over Heinz. Finally he had opened the writer’s bag. He began to read out of pure boredom. He sensed it was his language, his native tongue. He came across words his poor mother had used to calm him when he’d become angry and cruel. In this story, there were a lot of mad folk, really crazy people, all of whom were mixed up in terrible, nebulous stuff. Even those who strove hard not to be. All the people in the story, and one of them resembled himself, didn’t annoy him with their complexity, as they would have done in life. He understood their deeds because he could finally follow them from their very first thought right til their inevitable conclusion. Only because the now-dead writer had described them in that way did they seem less vicious to him. Two letters were in the rucksack. One from his publisher, praising his story but regretting that such work was no longer publishable. The second letter was from a woman who must have been his wife. It said he was not to expect her return, their life together was over.

He reached Marseille the next day. Blue skies, palms in the wind. It was cold, the Mistral. He was tired, no one looked at him. That’s the terrible thing. Not that they stare at you, your dirty, tired face, your torn clothing. The terrible thing is this: they don’t see you. You don’t exist in their world.
