★★★★☆ Conceived from an extended email discussion on the current state of German cinema, the Dreileben trilogy brings together three of the nations finest filmmakers - Christian Petzold, Dominik Graf and Christoph Hochhäusler - each bringing their own unique style of storytelling to the individual chapters. The 'Dreileben' of the title is a small fictional German town, surrounded by dense forest, where a number of events transpire after the escape of a convicted child molester from a secure hospital, highlighted in Dreileben 1: Beats Being Dead (2011).
Petzold's contribution to the trilogy is a sharply-shot, well-paced character drama as young hospital intern Johannes (Jacob Matschenz) falls for enigmatic Bosnian immigrant Ana (Luna Mijovic), whom he meets at a petrol station (moments before being punched in the face by her biker boyfriend). Their early relationship is tentative yet tender, with Ana eventually moving out from her mother's flat and in with her new lover.
