Director Florian Frerichs takes us into a world of secret desires and social masquerades. This cinematic gem, starring the outstanding Nikolai Kinski and Laurine Price, explores the hidden erotic fantasies of a seemingly ordinary married couple. Playing Jacob and Amelia, these two reveal a night that causes their facades to crumble and exposes their deepest desires.
Frerichs’ reinterpretation of Arthur Schnitzler’s timeless novella, which has already found a legendary portrayal through Kubrick’s masterful lens, relocates the action to the pulsating heart of modern Berlin. Every scene is imbued with a mixture of glamour and gloom that seduces and challenges the viewer in equal measure. Supported by an ensemble of brilliant actors, including Detlev Buck and Bruno Eyron, as well as rising stars Nora Islei and Sharon Kovacs, this film displays breathtaking visual and emotional depth.
Traumnovelle is more than just a film – it is an ecstatic cinematic experience that transports the viewer into a world where beauty and horror merge. This production by Warnuts Entertainment, Gretchenfilm and Studio Babelsberg, which celebrated its world premiere in Oldenburg in September 2024, invites you to an unforgettable visit to the cinema that awakens the longing for love and beauty in all of us. To be seen on the big screen across Germany from January 2025.
