The Wall

A woman holidaying at an Alpine hunting lodge discovers she’s been encircled by a mysterious, invisible force-field, in this highly original exploration of solitude and survival.

Drama 2011 104 mins

Director: Julian Roman Pölsler

Watch trailer Rent for £2.50

Overview

A woman holidaying at an Alpine hunting lodge wakes to discover she’s unable to descend the mountain, having been walled in by a mysterious invisible force-field. Director Julian Pölsler eschews any examination of the supernatural implications of the story, focusing instead on the psychological effects and spiritual journey that his unnamed castaway undergoes.

Martina Gedeck, best known for her performance in the Academy Award-winning film The Lives of Others, excels in a complex and demanding lead role, and the result is a highly original exploration of solitude and survival.
