Movie "Transit"

The concluding part of the trilogy (the first two films being "Barbara" and "Phoenix"), which the director himself aptly, though rather lengthily, named "Love in the Time of Repressive Government Systems." Having fled occupied Paris, Georg adopts the name of a deceased writer for the sake of disguise. The longer he lives under this false identity, the more the boundaries between him and his new role blur, and his fate becomes increasingly intertwined with that of the mysterious Marie — the wife of the very writer whose name he now bears. Petzold delicately extracts his story from a straightforward historical context: a film about the occupation is shot in modern Marseille, with the police taking on the role of Nazis. What seems like a simple story at first turns out to be surprisingly multilayered (with several false endings) and draws you in like good prose.
