Jerichow is a 2008 German drama film written and directed by Christian Petzold.[1] It is loosely inspired by the 1934 American novel The Postman Always Rings Twice by James M. Cain.[2]
The film was invited into the competition of the 65th Venice Film Festival, as the first film to be shown, and was also nominated for the 2009 German Film Prize in the Best Feature Film and Best Director categories.[3][4] The official German premiere was on 8 January 2009. The American showings were in German with English subtitles. As the title suggests, the film takes place in the German town of Jerichow.[5]
