Mirrors No. 3: Christian Petzold’s modest four-handed chamber piece of a film follows a music student who walks out of a fatal crash essentially unscathed and asks the woman who rescued her to stay there to recover fully. The older lady and her family have issues of their own, and how those are uncovered and dealt with is the meat of the film. Paula Beer, always engaging, plays the protagonist, unhappy and awkward from the get-go, quite well. Barbara Auer plays her saviour, a middle-aged woman who seems all too happy and worried about the young one. Matthias Brandt and Enno Trebs play her husband and son, respectively. Editor Bettina Böhler gives the film a nice pace, and cinematographer Hans Fromm’s work is simple and unaffected.
