EXCLUSIVE: Studiocanal has boarded sales and unveiled a first image for Volker Schlöndorff’s Visitation, which was announced as having been selected for the Cannes Film Festival’s Official Selection on Thursday.
The film, which is Schlöndorff’s first fiction feature in close to a decade, will debut in the Cannes Premiere section.
The historical drama revolves around a house on a lakeshore near Berlin which has borne witness to a century of events that reshaped the world around it: the rise of Nazism and the devastation of war, Soviet occupation, the reunification of Germany, and the dawn of a new era.
