The Berlinale Silver Bear winner, and Austria's Oscar entry, opens in US theaters December 11 from MUBI. - Author: unknowndivide staff - Tags: Entertainment, Culture Sandra Hüller has spent the last few years being the best thing in every film she is in, from *Toni Erdmann* to *Anatomy of a Fall* and *The Zone of Interest*. Her new one might be the strangest role yet. In *Rose*, she plays a soldier who walks into a village during the Thirty Years' War and claims a farm, and nobody can quite work out who this stranger really is. MUBI has the US release, and the official trailer just landed ahead of a December 11 theatrical opening. Official trailer. Video: MUBI ## What it is The setup, per [MUBI's film page](https://mubi.com/en/us/films/rose-2025?ref=unknowndivide.com): in the early 17th century, a soldier arrives at an isolated Protestant village in Germany and says they are the heir to an abandoned farmstead. The newcomer turns out to be hard-working and decent, but the villagers' suspicions keep growing until they force a reckoning. The secret at the center, spelled out by the film's world sales company, [The Match Factory](https://www.the-match-factory.com/catalogue/films/rose.html?ref=unknowndivide.com), is that the soldier is a woman who has chosen to live as a man. That is the tension the trailer runs on: a person keeping a secret in a place where everyone watches everyone. The film is shot in black and white by cinematographer Gerald Kerkletz, and the stills alone, Hüller under a wide hat in an empty field, tell you how bare and cold this world is going to feel. ## Who made it The director is Markus Schleinzer, from Vienna, who spent 17 years as a casting director behind some of the most important Austrian films of the era, working closely with Michael Haneke, Ulrich Seidl and Jessica Hausner. His own features as a director, *Michael* (2011) and *Angelo* (2018), are cool, controlled and very hard to shake. *Rose* is his biggest canvas yet. Schleinzer wrote the screenplay with Alexander Brom. Around Hüller, the cast includes Caro Braun as Suzanna, Robert Gwisdek as the bailiff and Godehard Giese as the head farmer. The score is by Tara Nome Doyle. It is in German, made in Austria and Germany, and runs about an hour and a half. ## Why it matters Festival season already decided this one is serious. *Rose* premiered in Competition at the [Berlin International Film Festival (the Berlinale)](https://www.berlinale.de/en/2026/programme/202614656.html?ref=unknowndivide.com) in February, and Hüller won the Silver Bear for Best Leading Performance. It is also Austria's official submission for the 99th Academy Awards in the international feature category, which is why MUBI is putting it in theaters in December, right in awards season. MUBI has turned into one of the most interesting distributors around, and this is exactly the kind of film it is good at: a hard sell on paper that turns into the movie people argue about. If you want more of that, our [guide to the Criterion Collection](https://www.unknowndivide.com/criterion-collection-explained/) is full of the films that came before it.
