Overview

• Variety premiered the trailer on Sunday to coincide with the film’s play at the Zurich Film Festival after a world premiere at the New York Film Festival on Saturday.
• International sales are handled by LuxBox, with production led by Sutor Kolonko and Good Fortune Films as co-producer alongside producers Ingmar Trost and Clément Duboin and co-producer Maren Ade.
• Set around a modern Medea shoot in Senegal, the film examines on-set frictions and a fraught reunion at a Berlin premiere without settling easy questions of authorship or power.
• Dennis Lim of NYFF praised the work as Köhler’s most ambitious to date, with Variety’s review calling it deeply engaging despite some structural limits.
• The piece foregrounds language and perspective gaps, invoking Quine’s “gavagai” thought experiment and weaving French, English, German and Wolof throughout.
