THE ASSESSMENT

In the organizer's words:

Feature film - D, US, GB 2024 - 109' - OmU

Director: Fleur Fortune

In a future where the Earth has been devastated by climate change, the state decides whether a couple is fit to have children. So an assessor moves in with model citizens Mia and Aaryan to test them - what begins with role-playing games and skill tests ends in bizarre psychological harassment on the border between reality and dream. Fleur Fortuné's visually breathtaking and psychologically powerful parable starring Elizabeth Olsen, Himesh Patel and a radically fearless Alicia Vikander will stay with you for a long time.

All about the power of images in film, pop culture, art and society. At FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE from October 17-24, 2024 and always online.

*Editorial Note: As the Rausgegangen team, we take a long-term view of the debate and criticism surrounding FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE. We take this debate very seriously. For us, the following is fundamentally clear: We reject any form of toxic behavior in the workplace and actively position ourselves against it. But what we do: We recommend content. We stand behind the filmmakers, the artists and the works. Regardless of politics, we want to recommend films and give you the opportunity to get to know the festival and its program. That's why you'll find the FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE content on our website.
