While “Afire,” in which Beer returns, is set along the Baltic Sea, this one has more to do with the flames of passion erupting and fizzling between four people trapped in a holiday home that is also surrounded by forest fires. German Christian Petzold continues his post-Nina Hoss era with his latest film to premiere in Berlin, “Afire.” It’s also the second entry in his “elemental trilogy,” which launched in 2020 with Berlinale FIPRESCI winner “Undine.” That film incorporated fantasy and folklore to tell a melancholy love story set against the backdrop of water as a connective tissue for romantic connection and separation, winning Paula Beer (Petzold’s closest collaborator since “Transit”) the Silver Bear for Best Actress.
