” from “Killing Eve” director Lisa Brühlmann, is set to go into production on Aug. 22 on its biggest movie yet, “Monte Verità,” a period drama about a woman’s across-the-board emancipation.
“‘Blue My Mind’ and ‘Animals’ marked a kind of breakthrough for us. ’Monte Verità’ is our next step, the biggest Telefilm production to date. We have become bigger and more international,” said Katrin Renz, CEO at Tellfilm and one of the European Film Promotion’s 2018 Producers on the Move at the 71st Cannes Festival.
Written by Cornelia Naraks, the feature revolves around Hanna Leitner, a woman in her late 20s who feel suffocated by the rigid daily routine of a bourgeois household with husband Anton and their two daughters. She begins to suffer chronic asthma attacks and reject Anton’s sexual advances which causes him to dispatch Hanna to a neurologist, Otto Gross, a disciple of Freud .
There’s no easy answer. “How can the protagonist understand that she has a fundamental right to prioritize her search for her identity, especially as a person who has grown up in a society which gave her precious little opportunity for self-actualization?” Jäger asks. DCM Filmdistribution will distribute “Monte Verità” in Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Liechtenstein.
