Valentine’s Day Film Screening: “Undine”
Celebrate Valentine’s Day with our free film screening of Undine on Saturday, February 14, 2026, from 2 to 4 pm in our Program Room, Youth Services Department, Radcliffe Children’s Library. Joe Sgammato, film professor at SUNY Westchester Community College, will introduce the film.
If you’re looking for a Valentine’s romance that feels mysterious, intelligent, and quietly intoxicating, Undine offers a love story unlike anything else in cinemas today. Set in
contemporary Berlin yet steeped in ancient myth, the film follows Undine, a historian whose modern life is shadowed by a centuries-old legend: When betrayed in love, she must return to the water. What begins as an explosively modern “meet cute” with Christoph, a gentle industrial diver, unfolds into a romance that is tender, strange, and deeply felt, where glances linger longer than words and emotion simmers beneath the surface. Director Christian Petzold, leading light of the “Berlin School” of modern German cinema, crafts a hypnotic mood, blending everyday realism with the uncanny, allowing love to feel both fragile and fated. The chemistry between Paula Beer and Franz Rogowski is intimate and sincere, making each moment ache with possibility and loss. Undine is perfect for viewers who want a romantic drama that favors atmosphere over clichés, emotion over spectacle, and the haunting question of whether love can ever truly escape destiny. In German with English subtitles.
