About Christian Petzold
Petzold co-wrote his early work with Harun Farocki, from Inner Security in 2000 through Wolfsburg in 2003 to Yella in 2007 and Jerichow in 2008, all built on work, flight and love triangles with Nina Hoss and Benno Furmann. Barbara arrived in 2012 with Hoss as an East German doctor, winning Best Director at Berlin.
Phoenix followed in 2014 with Hoss and Ronald Zehrfeld, then Transit in 2018 from the Anna Seghers novel with Franz Rogowski and Paula Beer. Undine came in 2020 with Beer winning Silver Bear, and Afire in 2023 won the Grand Jury Prize at Berlin. Miroirs No 3 from 2025 sits outside this list. Watch in release order for the pair logic to build.
Good to know
These are standalone stories with no shared continuity, so release order is the viewing order. Barbara, Phoenix and Transit form a loose love in times of borders run with repeated actors but no plot links. Afire is the latest in this list, with Miroirs No 3 premiered in 2025 and outside it for now as of October 2026. Start with Barbara or Phoenix for the clearest entry.
