Austria selects “Rose,” starring Sandra Hüller, as its submission for the Academy Awards’ International Feature Film category. The film is a black-and-white period drama directed by Markus Schleinzer. Both outlets describe it as a Berlin Film Festival standout, with Hüller receiving top acting recognition for her role.
“Rose” premieres at the Berlinale in competition and wins the Silver Bear for best leading performance for Hüller, according to the reports. The Hollywood Reporter frames the selection as part of Hüller’s profile after her Berlin win, noting she plays a 17th-century woman who passes as a man. Deadline similarly emphasizes the film’s festival success and characterizes it as an active contender in the international category.
Deadline also adds distribution context, stating that Mubi has acquired all rights to the film. The two sources otherwise align on the core facts: Austria’s choice, the film’s authorship, and its Berlin accolades.
