“A passionate holiday romance leads to an obsessive relationship, when an Australian photojournalist wakes one morning in a Berlin apartment and is unable to leave.”
From director Cate Shortland, Berlin Syndrome is a tense thriller that was an official selection at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival. I really like Teresa Palmer as an actress and the trailer has me excited for the release. The cast includes Teresa Palmer, Max Riemelt, Lucie Aron, and Matthias Habich. Check out the official trailer below.
Ted Takes Fun Facts, Berlin Syndrome:
- Teresa Palmer described her participation on the project as "one of the most transformational experiences" of her life, as well as "the most liberating film experience" of her career.
- Melanie Joosten's novel marked her debut novel and won her the 'Kathleen Mitchell Award for Young Writers' and she was as one of the 'Sydney Morning Herald Best Young Novelist 2012'. Melbourne-raised Joosten visited Berlin herself for the first time when she was backpacking Europe at the age of 22.
While holidaying in Berlin, Australian photographer, Clare, meets Andi, a charismatic local man and there is an instant attraction between them. A night of passion ensues. But what initially appears to be the start of a romance, takes an unexpected and sinister turn when Clare wakes the following morning to discover Andi has left for work and locked her in his apartment.
