Christian Petzold’s
MIROIRS NO. 3
In the haunting new film from esteemed German director Christian Petzold, his regular star Paula Beer plays Laura, a pianist from
Berlin. After surviving a violent car crash that kills her boyfriend, Laura is immediately
taken in by Betty, a mysterious middle-aged woman who lives alone in an
isolated house in the countryside. The two women build a quiet, respectful life
together, though the reemergence of Betty’s estranged husband and son sheds
light on her mysterious life. Petzold offers a filmic puzzle that plumbs the
depths of human psychology and poses questions about the transitory nature of
identity. (Germany, 2025, 86 mins, German
