Synopsis

Watch: Phoenix 2014 123movies, Full Movie Online – In the aftermath of WWII, Nelly, a Jewish survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp, horribly disfigured from a bullet wound in her face, undergoes a series of facial reconstruction surgeries and decides to find her husband Johnny who works at the Phoenix club in Berlin. Undoubtedly, Nelly is stunning, yet, her new self is beyond recognition, so Johnny, the man who may have betrayed her to the Nazis, will never imagine that the woman in front of him who bears an uncomfortable and unsettling resemblance to his late wife, is indeed her. Without delay, and with the intention to collect the deceased’s inheritance, Nelly will go along with Johnny’s plot and she will impersonate the dead woman, giving the performance of a lifetime before friends and relatives in a complex game of deceit, duplicity, and ultimately, seduction. In the end, during this masquerade, as the fragile and broken Nelly tries to find out whether Johnny betrayed her or not, she will have to dig deep into her wounded psyche and inevitably choose between revenge and forgiveness..
Plot: A disfigured concentration-camp survivor, unrecognizable after facial reconstruction surgery, searches ravaged postwar Berlin for the husband who might have betrayed her to the Nazis.

Different Ashes
Hubert Monteilhet’s novel has been filmed three times I saw two of them. The 1960’s Return From The Ashes and this one, Phoenix (2014) – the one I haven’t seen is a TV version from the 1980’s Le retour d’Elisabeth Wolff, but now I really want to see it. Phoenix is a moody, painful journey to a rebirth. Nina Hoss is lovely as the survivor, Ronald Zehofeld plays the husband, object of her obsession. He’s an interesting actor, a mix between Benicio del Toro and the young Orson Welles. Their scenes together have a realistic, tangible suspense. But Christian Petzold, the director of Jerichow (2008), gives the whole film a severe pace and tone, the 1964 version has a sharp, sophisticated script by Julius J Epstein with titles like Casablanca to his credit and J Lee Thompson at the helm, Thompson directed films like The Guns Of Navarone, Cape Fear and What A Way To Go. So his version, Return From The Ashes, is a whole other experience, at time it’s even funny. With a superlative international cast cast, Maximilian Schell, Ingrid Thulin and Samantha Eggar – So one can see both films as it they weren’t even related.

The plot is thin, goes nowhere, and depends on one man’s stupidity far too much
Phoenix (2015)

What a huge bore. Much of the time.

I mean, so so beautifully filmed in a restrained, slightly nostalgic palette, yes. And the basic idea is ominous and creepy enough to start a good plot. It also starts with some great (anachronistic) Miles Davis inspired minimal jazz and a chilling army checkpoint confrontation. But from there it goes slowly.

First there is a man who thinks he can cash in on his wife’s inheritance. He thinks she’s dead, but finds a new woman in town who looks just like her and so he’s going to pretend it’s his wife. Oh, but wait, it really is his wife! But he doesn’t recognize her because of severe war injuries.

This all unfolds pretty quickly—it’s not a spoiler—but what happens next is, well, not much, in terms of plot! That is, there is a plodding progression as the two go through with the plan. The woman (played very well by Nina Hoss) understands all (she knows it’s him) and the man is such a blind fool you can’t buy it. I couldn’t, my wife couldn’t. I heard some people in the audience gasp at the end so I guess they went along with the ruse.

There are some other elements that start to charge the movie with politics. The woman, was in a concentration camp, which is where she was disfigured. And another woman helping her is setting up a new life for her in Palestine (this is right before the founding of Israel). Oh, but wait, the leading woman turns out to not be Jewish after all–or that is her claim, and we are not sure of the truth of it.

And so some bigger issues lurk–the various ways Germans and Jews dealt with being German, and the horrors of the war, and now what? Ignore? Leave? Demand justice? Try to accept the complacence of others? Become complacent.

This movie really does not quite go these places. It successfully pulls off only the one thing, the grand trick of two people pretending, sort of, to be a couple for the inheritance. The other stuff is what matters, and it’s given superficial treatment.

You can see the movie for Hoss’s performance, which takes a couple of turns. Or for the period set design, which is great. In all it’s a constrained movie physically, with a small cast and interior sets in most cases. And so the psychology and the suspense are meant to be sufficient, which they are not. Another (very different) end-of-WWII movie that works with similar restraint is last year’s much more compelling “Diplomatie.”

Director/writer Christian Petzold has a following, and is a significant contemporary force on the German scene. But for a starting point with him, I’d skip this one. Try “Barbara.” Or any of his others, which can be magical.
