Overview
- Mubi begins the theatrical rollout today for writer-director Mascha Schilinski’s sophomore feature following its Cannes recognition.
- Germany selected the film as its official submission for the Oscars, elevating its awards profile during release.
- Set entirely at a historic Altmark farmhouse, the narrative spans nearly a century through four generations of women grappling with generational trauma.
- Reviews note an impressionistic, time-shifting structure and a ghost-story feel shaped by creaking floors, buzzing flies, and a recurring low tone.
- Cinematographer Fabian Gamper crafts shadow-rich, floating imagery with textured framings over a 149-minute runtime that critics describe as demanding yet rewarding.
