IFC Films has acquired the U.S. rights to “Undine,” the latest film from director Christian Petzold, the filmmaker behind critical darlings “Phoenix,” “Barbara” and “Transit,” the distributor announced Tuesday.
The film starring Paula Beer and Franz Rogowski is a modernized re-telling of an ancient myth about a mysterious water spirit that’s now set in the modern world. The film premiered at the Berlinale in competition, where Petzold previously won the Silver Beaar in 2012 for “Barbara.”
IFC Films will release “Undine” in the fall of 2020.

Set in Berlin, Undine works as a historian lecturing on Berlin’s urban development. She knows all about the Humboldt Forum, and has a knack for dressing. She is nonchalantly beautiful, and the way she imparts her knowledge about the city that was built on a swamp is as professional as it is graceful.
