There’s another incredible performance from one of the greatest actors of our time in this film. Sandra Huller (Anatomy of a Fall, Fatherland, The Zone of Interest, Toni Erdmann), plays the central character, Rose, who decides to live her life as a man. In the 17th Century, after fighting as a soldier in the 30 Years War in central Europe, Rose arrives in a rural village and lays claim to a rambling, disused farmhouse and its surrounding land.
As a landowner of standing in the small community, Rose must appease her neighbours by abiding by traditional customs and upholding the usual duties expected of a man with property. The film is a clever and thought-provoking exploration of gender roles and social conventions, and is the third feature from a filmmaker whose previous work has daringly explored challenging subjects from paedophilia (Michael) to race and privilege in an 18th Century Viennese court (Angelo).
This screening has Audio Description (AD) available, and subtitles for the d/Deaf and hard of hearing (SDH).
