The film stars Academy Award® nominee Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest), who was awarded with the Silver Bear for Best Leading Performance for her role in Rose at the Berlinale.

Rose is an Austrian-German production from Schubert, Row Pictures and Walker + Worm Film, produced by Johannes Schubert, Philipp Worm, Tobias Walker and Karsten Stöter. The film marks the third feature for Markus Schleinzer.

SYNOPSIS
Amidst the turmoil of the Thirty Years´ War, somewhere in Germany, a mysterious soldier appears in a secluded Protestant village. Small and quiet, his face disfigured by a scar, this stranger declares himself the heir of a long-abandoned farmstead and produces a document to support his claim to the suspicious villagers. With time, he overcomes their doubts and shows himself to be a hard-working, God-fearing man, becoming part of the community in a quest for acceptance made up of impossible deceit. The true and twisted tale of a deceiver of land and folk, who, defying her birth as a woman, comported herself as a man and committed many a wicked deed.

DIRECTOR’S BIO
Markus Schleinzer, born in Vienna, spent 17 years as a casting director shaping the international success of Austrian cinema through his close collaborations with Jessica Hausner, Ulrich Seidl, and Michael Haneke. For the Golden Globe winner and Oscar-nominated film The White Ribbon, he was responsible not only for casting the child actors but also for directing their performances on set. His two debut feature films, Michael (2011) and Angelo (2018), premiered and won awards in the main competitions at the Cannes, Toronto, London, Mumbai, and Japan film festivals, among others. Schleinzer also works as an actor and teaches directing, currently at the Film Academy in Ludwigsburg.

#NEWMUSIC: ROSÉ -“NEW TRICK”

Global icon Rosé has released “new trick,” her high-octane new single selected as part of Apple’s latest “Shot on iPhone” campaign – WATCH MUSIC VIDEO / STREAM.

In this new track, Rosé pushes through the heartbreaks and heartaches of life with a newfound resilience. “Maybe I’m emotional, I lay my dreams out on the table, love is unconditional, it disappears just like a rainbow,” she sings before twisting her attitude on the hook with a “new trick” that flips her disposition. It’s an uptempo dreamy alt-pop anthem that channels the iconic energy of 90s rom-coms, the punk-rock edge of the early aughts, and an unapologetic fun attitude of the modern era.

In an interview last week with VOGUE, Rosé described “new trick” as “possibly the cutest thing [she and songwriter Amy Allen] have ever made together” while updating fans on the highly anticipated follow-up to her 2024 first full-length album rosie: “I’ve been working on new music for quite some time now, and I’m still in the process of finding the perfect fine line between the world I want to create, how much of that expresses who I am today, and who I, personally and as a musician, am evolving into. I’m excited to see where this journey continues to take me, what sort of sound resonates [with] me, and to introduce a new era of my music next year.”

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Dave Meyers (Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, Ariana Grande), the “new trick” music video was shot entirely on the new iPhone 18 Pro, which features the most advanced camera Apple has ever made, bringing variable aperture control to iPhone for the first time. Bringing Meyers’ signature visual style to the collaboration, the video captures Rosé in a vibrant, youthful setting, with energetic scenes that bring out the playful, upbeat feel of “new trick.” Previous “Shot on iPhone” campaigns have included The Weeknd’s “Dancing In The Flames” (shot on iPhone 16 Pro), Olivia Rodrigo’s “Get Him Back!” (shot on iPhone 15 Pro Max), and Lady Gaga’s “Stupid Love” (shot on iPhone 11).

Rosé has shattered records, performed on the most heralded stages, and amassed millions of fans around the world both as a soloist and member of one of the best-selling girl groups of all time, BLACKPINK. The Korean-New Zealand superstar has earned over 10 billion solo streams to date with her first studio album rosie and 3x-GRAMMY nominated smash single “APT.” with Bruno Mars, which was crowned the #1 best-selling global single of 2025.

#NEWMUSIC: ALEX WARREN & ROSÉ – “ON MY MIND”

Today, singer-songwriter Alex Warren teams up with global icon ROSÉ to release their highly anticipated collaboration, “On My Mind” – listen here. The song was announced as a surprise track on Warren’s upcoming album You’ll Be Alright, Kid, due out July 18th, pre-order here. Warren started teasing the potential ROSÉ collab on his socials a few weeks ago, and fans have been anxiously awaiting the release ever since. 

“On My Mind” is a swelling love song in Alex Warren’s mastered style of anthemic pop. Produced by Ammo and John Ryan, the record beautifully meshes Warren and ROSÉ’s vocals for a striking listen. The accompanying music video was directed by Colin Tilley – watch here. 

Alongside “On My Mind,” Alex’s new album You’ll Be Alright, Kid will feature all the songs on You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1), released last fall, and 11 entirely new tracks. Amongst these new tracks are Warren’s chart-topping, global smash “Ordinary” and “Bloodline (with Jelly Roll)”. The majority of the album is co-written by Alex Warren, Cal Shapiro, Mags Duval and produced by Adam Yaron. While You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1) focuses on dealing with grief, You’ll Be Alright, Kid turns the page with healing, resilience, and optimism. 

Warren’s earth-shattering hit, “Ordinary,” was released in February to rave reviews, counting nearly 1 billion streams to date, and topping the charts. The smash hit spends its third week at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is currently #1 across the Global 200 Ex US, Top 40 Radio, Hot AC Radio, UK Songs Chart and Spotify Global Top 50. “Ordinary” was not only Warren’s first top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, but it also makes him the first male soloist to earn an initial Hot 100 #1 this year.

“Ordinary” spent 12 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the UK chart. This marks the longest running No.1 in the UK by a US male solo act in OCC chart history and the longest running No. 1 of the 2020s. It just returned to #1 for its 13th week. In Australia, “Ordinary” at its 13th week is the second song this decade to have the longest continuous run at #1. “Ordinary” has also reached #1 at Top 40 Radio & Hot AC Radio and currently holds the top US radio audience. Warren now tallies over 2.4 billion career streams to date. 

Warren’s previously released singles “Bloodline (with Jelly Roll),” and #1 song “Ordinary,” have seen massive success. “Bloodline” debuted in the Top 10 on the Spotify US Streaming Chart upon and had the highest debut on May 23 on Spotify. With nearly 3 million streams, it is the top song debut in both the US and globally. Directed by B.K. Barone, both Alex and Jelly Roll star in the music video that is set in medieval times – watch here.

Most recently, Warren made his award show debut with a powerful performance at the 2025 American Music Awards – watch here. Earlier this year, Warren also made his late night debut with a performance of “Ordinary” on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon – watch here. He also performed the song with Ed Sheeran at a local bar around Coachella – see his Instagram post here.

#NEWMUSIC: ROSÉ FT. BRUNO MARS – “APT”

Global icons ROSÉ and Bruno Mars have released a new single “APT.” A note from ROSÉ going into detail about the song’s conception: “‘APT.’ is actually my favorite Korean drinking game that I play with my friends back home. It’s so simple, puts a smile on your face, and breaks the ice at any party,” ROSÉ explains. “One night in the studio I taught my crew how to play the game. Everyone was fascinated, especially when I started the chant, so we played around with it and I said we should make a song out of it… and after Bruno joined the track, the rest became history!”

Absolutely addicted to this tune!!

Here’s a quick explanation how the Drinking Game works for those who don’t know!
