Film Movement Snaps Up North American Rights to Lauded Swiss Drama ‘Sparrow in the Chimney’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Film Movement has snapped up North American rights to Ramon Zürcher’s ‘The Sparrow in the Chimney’ following its world premiere at Locarno.
Described by Variety ’s Guy Lodge as a “darkly engrossing psychodrama of pent-up domestic tensions,” the film explores the tumultuous relationship between two sisters, Karen and Jule, whose reunion at a family gathering reignites old conflicts and deep-seated emotional turmoil. “What drew us to ‘The Sparrow in the Chimney’ was its deeply personal yet universally relatable depiction of family conflict,” said Film Movement president Michael Rosenberg, adding: “Ramon Zürcher’s filmmaking transports you into a world where every glance, every silence, is charged with unspoken tension.” In all three, “the natural world encroaches on human life in ways that don’t feel invasive so much as equalizing, as social conventions and restraints are gradually shed in favor of brute base instincts,” said Lodge.
