MIT EINEM TIGER SCHLAFEN (englisch / französisch / deutsch OmU)

by Anja Solomonowitz, Austria 2024, 107 min.
With Birgit Minichmayr, Johanna Orsini-Rosenberg, Oskar Haag

Gifted child, abandoned daughter, determined woman, lonely artist, explorer of inner worlds, celebrated painter. The film is a poetic portrait of the Austrian painter Maria Lassnig. A film about her search for her very personal, artistic expression, her struggle in the male art world, her physical struggle for her painting, in which she brings her inner pain to the canvas. And then also a film about her great artistic success.
A Lassnig biopic with its own form. The painter is embodied by actress Birgit Minichmayr at any age - whether 6, 19, 64 or 94 years old.
