Occupied City
Synopsis
The past collides with our precarious present in Steve McQueen’s bravura documentary, informed by the book 'Atlas of an Occupied City (Amsterdam 1940-1945)' written by Bianca Stigter. McQueen creates two interlocking portraits: a door-to-door excavation of the Nazi occupation that still haunts his adopted city, and a vivid journey through the last years of pandemic and protest. What emerges is both devastating and life-affirming, an expansive meditation on memory, time, and where we’re headed.
