Berlin Syndrome

AroView: An Australian photographer visiting Berlin to shoot architecture meets a charismatic local English teacher, but their first date turns into a nightmare of captivity.

An extraordinary, claustrophobic horror with a riveting central performance from Teresa Palmer, and from the director of the similarly Australian-German co-production, “Lore”, who ventures into darker, crueller genre film-making with this one.

“Director Cate Shortland creates a dreamlike sense of place within a nightmare scenario with this taut and strongly acted thriller.” ~RogerEbert.com
