The Austrian drama ‘Styx’ is part moral allegory, part nautical thriller.
Susanne Wolff in the film “Styx.” By Michael O'Sullivan Michael O'Sullivan Film critic and reporter covering movies and the people who make them Email Bio Follow Reporter March 13 at 3:09 PM Rating:
But all that changes when the woman, Rike, comes out on the other side of the storm to discover a disabled and slowly sinking ship filled with more than 100 African refugees, some of whom have begun jumping overboard — only to drown — in their desperation at the prospect of rescue. When Rike contacts the coast guard with a mayday call, she is warned to back away; her presence gives false hope, she is told, and her tiny boat cannot accommodate that many people.
Susanne Wolff plays the captain of a small sailboat en route from Gibraltar to Ascension Island in “Styx.” This may be how many people watching feel about Rike’s situation, albeit less acutely and with none of the immediacy. As Austrian director Wolfgang Fischer and his co-writer Ika Künzel suggest, those of us who watch passively — or worse, choose to look away — while a seemingly unending flood of refugees struggle to reach our shores may also be the ones in need of saving.
