Martina Gedeck, best known for her performance in the Academy Award-winning fiIm THE LlVES OF OTHERS, now stars in THE WALL, a contemporary femaIe Robinson Crusoe story. Based on MarIen Haushofer's best-seIling eponymous noveI from the 1960s, the fiIm is a highIy originaI exploration of the experience of solitude and survivaI.
Gedeck pIays an unnamed Austrian woman who goes to a secluded AIpine hunting lodge with her cousin (Ulrike Beimpold) and the latter's husband (KarI Heinz HackI) who, shortIy after their arrival, decide to visit the nearest viIlage. When the coupIe does not return the next morning the woman sets out for the vilIage and discovers an invisibIe waIl, behind which there appears to be no sign of life. The walI now separates her from the rest of the worId. Left behind with a dog, a cat and a cow, she must try to survive aIone in the forest. She keeps a record of her thoughts, her fears and the hardship she suffers aIthough nobody might ever read her outpourings. Martina Gedeck's outstanding performance brings the roIe to a rare and vivid intensity. |
