Martina Gedeck, star of the Academy Award®-winning film The Lives Of Others, brings a vivid intensity to this mysterious and riveting tale of survival set in a spectacularly beautiful Austrian mountain landscape. In a tour-de-force performance, Gedeck stars as an unnamed character who suddenly finds herself cut off from all human contact when an invisible, unyielding wall inexplicably surrounds the countryside where she is vacationing. Accompanied by her loyal dog Lynx, she becomes immersed in a world untouched by civilization and ruled by the laws of nature. As she grapples with her bizarre circumstances, she begins an inward journey of spiritual growth and transcendence. Based on Marlen Haushofer's eponymous classic novel, The Wall is a gorgeous, mesmerizing adventure film that raises profound questions about humanity, solitude, and our relationship to the natural world.

I get that the creators of this movie wanted to show man’s coexistence with nature, which is no longer as natural as before. On the other hand, I didn’t like how they used the wall that you simply can’t cross to portray everything. Hence my rating. But hats off for the beautiful shots of a flowering valley in the Alps. I could watch that for the rest of my days. It’s a pity that the movie didn’t use it to its advantage far more.

I'm at a loss for words with all my excitement, but I'll try to find them... Right from the beginning I was fascinated by the imagery and thought processes of the lonely woman and it didn't let go of me until the very end. If I could, I'd watch an extra hour of it. First and foremost, I shared fear and apprehension with the main character about the unknown. Then, I enjoyed her companionship with the animal beings and marveled at the beautiful nature, and subsequently, I was moved by the loss of her most faithful companions, especially her beloved dog. I ended up shedding tears for him; all the while, I was imagining if I could live like that. I came to the conclusion that if I had a dog, I would probably be able to last a year in that beautiful environment. I spend most of my free time alone with my dog, either at home, in the garden, or in the surrounding woods, and I can also collect wood for the winter. Catching something to eat would probably be a problem, but my dog Ben would certainly help me with that. I can't think of a film right now in which I can find such a wide range of emotions. I'm fascinated and saddened at the same time. (90%)
