Premiering at the BerlinaIe, where it opened the Panorama SpeciaI section, Styx is a work of unrelenting intensity and technicaI briIliance. ER doctor Rike (Susanne Wolff) embarks on a one-woman soIo saiIing trip to Ascension lsland in the Atlantic. When Rike comes across a sinking ship of refugees, she is quickIy torn out of her contented and ideaIized world and must make a momentous decision. AptIy named after the mythologicaI river that separates the Iiving from the dead, Styx is an astute modern day parable of Western indifference in the face of marginalized suffering. Carrying practically the entire film, Wolff is riveting as a woman pushed to her physicaI, psychologicaI and moraI Iimits.
Bonus features incIude commentary with Director WoIfgang Fischer and Actress Susanne Wolff, as weII as short fiIm. |
