Review: 'In the Fade' puts us face-to-face with loss

The German thriller “In the Fade” puts us face to face with loss, and with what happens when a world shatters, leaving only darkness in its wake. Katja (Diane Kruger) lives contentedly with her Kurdish husband Nuri (Numan Acar) and adorable young son Rocco; Nuri previously served jail time for drug dealing but has reformed and embraced family life. One day, Katja drops off Rocco at his father’s office and goes to visit her sister (Samia Chancrin). Returning later to collect them, she finds a nightmare: crowds, flashing lights, a building leveled by a bomb and a sad-eyed police officer with terrible news. The sound fades out around Katja - all we hear is her breathing, and, eventually, her screams.
