"If I command my heart to stop, it would stop." Neue Visionen Filmverleih in Germany has revealed the first look trailer for the highly anticipated German film titled
Sound of Falling in English (or
In die Sonne schauen in German), made by German filmmaker Mascha Schilinski. The film will be premiering tomorrow at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival in the Main Competition, a major debut for this little German film. It was supposed to premiere at Berlinale, but Cannes snatched it instead giving it a much more grand premiere. This epic story is set across four different times spanning decades. Four girls: Alma, Erika, Angelika, and Lenka, each spend their youth on the same farm in northern Germany. As the home evolves over a century, echoes of the past linger in its walls. Though separated by time, their lives begin to mirror each other. The film is "a grand tour into the subtlest ramifications of the emotional worlds of these four women... A film that drills deep into our perception and stages the sensation where it is most fleeting: in the quickly fading feeling of time." Starring
Hanna Heckt as Alma,
Lena Urzendowsky as Angelika,
Laeni Geiseler as Lenka,
Susanne Wuest as Emma,
Luise Heyer as Christa, and
Lea Drinda as Erika. It looks gorgeously shot and very stylish - will definitely be watching. Keep an eye out for reviews & more festival updates soon. //
