THE FOREST FOR THE TREES

Maren Ade Germany, 2003

  • Drama
  • 81
  • CAUTION

Long before she scored an Oscar® nomination for Toni Erdmann, Maren Ade made her feature debut with this razor-sharp portrait of an idealistic teacher’s emotional unravelling. Ruthlessly unsentimental, The Forest for the Trees is an empathetic anatomisation of loneliness and social awkwardness.
