Film: Styx

Styx , which opened Berlinale's Panorama Special section, is a work of unrelenting intensity and technical brilliance. Aptly named after the mythological river that separates the living from the dead, Styx is an astute modern-day parable of Western indifference in the face of marginalized suffering. One woman's long-held dream of sailing from Gibraltar to the small island of Ascension in the Atlantic comes to a halt when she sees a disabled overloaded boat full of refugees.
