"In the hours and days following its conclusion, you might just find your heart and soul demolished, and somehow made whole again." - Tomris Laffly, TheWrap
"Singular and rewarding in its emotional intelligence." - Anna McKibbin, Paste Magazine
The past collides with our precarious present in Steve McQueen’s (SMALL AXE, 12 YEARS A SLAVE) bravura documentary, informed by the book Atlas of an Occupied City (Amsterdam 1940–1945) written by Bianca Stigter. McQueen creates two interlocking portraits: a door-to-door excavation of the Nazi occupation that still haunts his adopted city, and a vivid journey through the last years of pandemic and protest. What emerges is both devastating and life-affirming, an expansive meditation on memory, time, and where we’re headed. (A24) Film Center exclusive. Includes one intermission.
