I sat down with Nina Hoss after the premiere of her new film Phoenix at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. Her sixth collaboration with director Christian Petzold, we discuss their developing dynamic, as well as how she knew while working on their first feature (the 2001 film Something to Remind Me) that they would have a fruitful relationship. The actress wasn’t aware that Phoenix had previously been made into the film Return From the Ashes, but we discuss its likeness to other post war film noirs and pre WWII plastic surgery films. Hoss briefly discusses her interest in music and how her marriage to music producer Alex Silva granted her an opportunity to flex her musical talents as a guest vocalist on a track from the Manic Street Preachers earlier in 2014.

Chicago – The third week of the 12th Annual EU Film Festival at the Siskel Film Center is nearly upon us and we’re back to give you an idea of what to expect in the second half of arguably the best fest in the Windy City. We feature great new films from Ireland, Denmark, the United Kingdom and Belgium.
The first half of EU 2009 (which you can read about here and here) produced some excellent films including Ireland’s “Kisses,” Denmark’s “Worlds Apart,” and France’s “Shall We Kiss?” There’s nothing that we’ve seen that’s quite as notable as “Kisses” or “Worlds Apart,” the two best of the fest through week three, but there is a quartet of films well worth seeing this weekend. Get your calendar out and take notes.
You’re going to be busy on Saturday with a dark trio of quality films - Denmarks “Fear Me Not,...
