At the festival, the movie will be a part of its Berlinale Special screenings, which will also feature Dylan Southern’s The Thing With Feathers, Justin Kurzel’s The Narrow Road to Deep North, Min Kyu-dong’s The Old Woman With the Knife, Anna Muylaert’s The Best Mother in the World, and a restoration screening of Claude Lanzmann’s Shoah, among many others.
