Editor’s note: A brief editor’s note on Drifter (2023): It leans into its Drama roots without feeling derivative. With Hannes Hirsch at the helm, the film feels purposeful and well-paced. Performances (especially Lorenz Hochhuth, Cino Djavid, Gustav Schmidt) give the story human stakes. The 1h 19m runtime suits the material; scenes land without dragging. Reception is mixed; it works best if you’re in the mood for its specific tone. “Welcome to Berlin!” sums up the film’s focus better than most trailers do. If the premise speaks to you, this one’s easy to recommend.
