Do you miss True Detective? What about the less existential/esoteric aspects of Twin Peaks? Christian Alvart’s latest film Freies Land feels so much like a cross between the two, set only one year after the destruction of the Berlin Wall.

Free Country is a German time capsule wrapped around a neo-noir thriller.

RTThe Film StageAug 21, 2020

The mystery being solved [takes] a back seat to the characters' personal evolutions [as] a metaphor for who they are and the divided Germany from which they hail.

Full of complex, compelling characters, Free Country is a stubbornly uncomfortable yet intriguing piece of work.
