Hi reddit. I'm Christian Petzold. I've directed films such as PHOENIX, BARBARA, TRANSIT, UNDINE, and AFIRE. My newest, MIROIRS NO. 3, premiered at Cannes last May and is out in select theaters this weekend via 2-1 special. It stars Paula Beer, who I've worked with several times.
I'm going to be answering your questions on Thursday at around 5 PM ET.
Trailer:

After a car crash kills her boyfriend, piano student Laura is taken in by Betty, who witnessed the accident. Living with Betty's family brings comfort, but Laura starts questioning their intentions as time passes.

Favorite theater in NYC?
Hello mr Petzold, I want to ask you a very simple question; which of your movies would you consider to be the one that came out just like you imagined/pictured in your head?
What’s the process of working with Criterion to release a DVD? How does it differ from other vendors?
Your work seems like it’s often in dialogue with more standard mainstream genres and narrative tropes, particularly the thriller. Do you watch/read a lot of thrillers? Do you have any guilty pleasures in the genre? Have you ever considered making an English language film or even a Hollywood thriller?
Do you have any dream projects you’re developing that you’d love to do if you had unlimited resources?
