In Undine, Petzold captures this tension with warmth and immediacy. Like genre, like architecture, like history, like a love affair-at the heart of his work is the push and pull between where we are and where we want to be, between who we are and who we want to be and what we’ve done and what we’ll do, between what we dream and what we make happen. As in all of Petzold’s films, Undine builds a world of liminal spaces-of lives in transition, always moving-of his characters shifting between realities, never quite sure where one ends and another begins. He’s the rare person who’s gone beneath it, excavating and reconstructing its depths, entombed in the mech-like coffin of a diving suit he wears when welding below the surface. He too is bound to the evolving bones of Germany, repairing bridges and various underwater infrastructure-he may, in fact, be more intuitively connected to the country than most. When she meets Christoph, she’s revitalized, because she’s heartbroken but especially because he takes such interest in the subjects of her lectures.

Undine is a water spirit, making covenants with men on land in order to access a human soul (as well as a tasteful professional wardrobe).

Anyone remotely familiar with the “Undine” tale knows that she’s not lying to her ex. And that’s saying nothing about Christoph’s odds for survival. What once felt familiar now feels pregnant with dread. He doesn’t take Undine seriously, but the audience can’t be so sure. Squint and you could maybe mistake these opening moments for a Lifetime movie-that is, until the break-up ends with Undine warning her soon-to-be-ex (Jacob Matschenz) that she’s going to have to kill him. A tearful break-up presages a quirky meet-cute between industrial diver Christoph (Franz Rogowski) and city historian Undine (Paula Beer), our new couple bound by the irrevocable forces of chance-and, in director Christian Petzold’s own mannered way, a bit of physical comedy-as the universe clearly arranges for the pieces of their lives to come together. A lilting piano score, not without a shade of sadness, purrs quietly during the title cards. Stars: Paula Beer, Franz Rogowski, Maryam Zeree, Jacob Matschanz, Anne Ratte-Polle Here are the 25 Best Movies on Demand:Īvailable on: Amazon, DirecTV, GooglePlay You can also check out our guides to the best movies on Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, Hulu, YouTube, and at Redbox. The selections are up to date as of December 2021, but cable providers change their film on demand offerings regularly. Many of the cable companies have branded their Movies on Demand service, so Time-Warner and Charter customers will be looking for Spectrum, Comcast on-demand is branded Xfinity, Verizon goes by Fios and AT&T calls its program U-verse. That’s just the way of the distribution world. Funnily enough, many of our picks for the top of that yearly list are streaming service exclusives, so don’t be surprised to find some older (yet still incredible) films still lingering. Several of these films appear on our list of the Best Movies of 2021. We limited it to new VOD movies available to rent for less than $10. We searched through the offerings of all of the above to bring you the Best Movies On Demand, though no one service offers them all.

What are the other two irregular games in the Far Cry franchise? Instincts and Evolution. It still bears a "3" in the title, though, meaning there must be two other games before it. Far Cry Instincts and Far Cry Instincts: Evolution are video games in the Far Cry/ Assassin's Creed/ Watch_Dogs universeIn Watch_Dogs we see arcade cabinets bearing the name of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, meaning it is a Game Within a Game, presumably developed by Abstergo Entertainment, who appear to be the in-universe equivalent of Ubisoft.
