Silvio Soldini Sets Cast for ‘The Tastemakers,’ About German Women Forced to Sample Hitler’s Food, as Vision Distribution Launches Sales in Cannes (EXCLUSIVE)
German actors Elisa Schlott, Max Riemelt and Alma Hasun are set to star in Italian director Silvio Soldini's drama 'The Tasters.'
Shooting is set to start on Friday in Italy’s northern Alto Adige region on the Nazi-era drama, which is being pre-sold at the Cannes Marché du Film by Rome-based Vision Distribution, headed by sales agent Catia Rossi. Forced to eat what might kill them, the tasters start to split into two factions: those loyal to Hitler and those who insist they aren’t Nazis, even as they risk their lives everyday for the Führer. In autumn 1943, young Rosa, fleeing from bombed-out Berlin, reaches a small isolated town near the eastern border to take refuge while awaiting the end of the war.
