  • Story Text: Oscar-nominated German actor and winner of the Berlinale Silver Bear 2006, Sandra Hueller, returned to the Berlin Film Festival on Sunday (February 15) with "Rose' by Austrian filmmaker Markus Schleinzer.
    In the black-and-white film set in early 17th-century Germany, Hueller portrays a woman who lives as a man to access the freedoms otherwise denied to her.  
    After serving as a soldier in the Thirty Years' War, the battle-scarred Rose hopes to settle down and become a respected member of her village, without revealing her identity.
    At the premiere on Sunday evening Schleinzer said he had written the role with Hueller, who starred in both 2024 Oscar-winning films "Anatomy of a Fall" and "Zone of Interest", in mind.
    "If you want to shoot in Germany, there's no way to get by Sandra Hueller. She was in my mind from the very beginning", Schleinzer said
    "Rose" is competing against 21 other films in competition at the Berlin Film Festival for the Golden Bear top prize, which will be handed out at the closing ceremony on February 21.
