Exclusive Trailer for Ramon Zürcher’s The Sparrow in the Chimney, Premiering This August

      Since its debut at last year's Locarno Film Festival, we have been eagerly anticipating the U.S. release of Ramon Zürcher’s *The Sparrow in the Chimney*, the concluding film in the trilogy that includes the formally captivating *The Strange Little Cat* and *The Girl and the Spider*. Featuring Maren Eggert, Britta Hammelstein, Andreas Döhler, and Milian Zerzawy, the latest work from the Zürcher brothers depicts a dysfunctional family over a span of three days. With Film Movement's theatrical release set to begin at BAM on August 1, we are excited to present the new trailer.

      Here’s the plot summary: “Karen (Maren Eggert), along with her husband Markus (Andreas Döhler) and their children, resides in her childhood home, which she inherited following her mother’s passing. When her sister, Jule (Britta Hammelstein), comes to visit with her family to celebrate Markus’s birthday, the weekend reignites old wounds and past traumas, unleashing buried emotions that threaten their relationships and Karen’s grasp on reality.”

      Leonardo Goi remarked in his review, “*Cat* and *Spider* both hinted at that intangible, dreamlike essence, yet never fully succumbed to it, resulting in a distinct edge-of-the-cliff sensation, as if the films were on the brink of diving into an entirely different reality but never quite succeeded. This aspect, in my opinion, is what makes the Zürchers’ cinema so captivating, and why *The Sparrow in the Chimney* feels so thrilling.”
