Celebrating the versatile actor Sandra Hüller

After a breakout year in 2023 that included much-lauded turns in Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest and Justine Triet’s Palme d’Or-winning Anatomy of a Fall, Sandra Hüller isn’t only a cult property worshiped by arthouse goers for her crushing karaoke performance of “The Greatest Love of All” in Maren Ade’s 2016 Toni Erdmann, but also a César winner and Academy Award nominee widely acknowledged as one of the finest actors of her generation.

This series tracks Hüller’s rise in five films, from her early role as an epileptic woman who believes herself to be possessed by the devil in Hans-Christian Schmid’s 2006 Requiem, to the mortifyingly funny watershed of Toni Erdmann, to her chillingly chipper turn in Maria Schrader’s 2021 sci-fi dramedy I’m Your Man, to the annus mirabilis of ’23. A catch-up with the formidable accomplishments of a performer who seems destined for still greater things ahead.
