Animals Tiere

Greg Zglinski / Switzerland, Poland, Austria / 2017 / 95 min / German

A richly nuanced and intriguing story of a young couple aiming to resolve their relationship crisis with a longer break in the Swiss Alps. When various narrative levels start to overlap, reality and fantasy slowly dissolve into each other.

A richly nuanced and intriguing story of a young couple aiming to resolve their relationship crisis with a longer break in the Swiss Alps. When various narrative levels start to overlap, reality and fantasy slowly dissolve into each other.

A young couple are off to Switzerland for six months. Nick wants to collect recipes of local cuisine, and Anna hopes to finally write a new book. The time away might be good for their relationship too, for Anna knows about Nick’s affair with their neighbour Andrea, who threw herself out the window. Mischa will be taking care of the fish and the philodendron in their Viennese apartment while they’re gone. On the drive to Switzerland, they collide with a sheep, which triggers off an unexpected string of events.

“From the very start I saw Tiere as a universal story about a relationship between a man and a woman who want to be close to each other but find it difficult because they each live in their own concept of reality. So love can only be possible if these concepts dissolve. With this film, which occupies the space somewhere between reality and dream, I have the feeling that I’ve returned to my film roots, to a magical and mystical interpretation of the world that surrounds us. The screenplay had a dense atmosphere that reminded me of films by David Lynch, Roman Polanski or Stanley Kubrick. The first time I read it, my heart was pounding by the time I finished it.” (Greg Zglinski)
