Killing Stella

Filmplakat mit Gesichtsbild einer Frau und einer Hand im Hintergrund, dazu die Schriftzüge "wir töten stella" in Schreibschrift sowie die Namen Matthias Brandt, Martina Gedeck und Mala Emde und der Filmtitel "Wir töten Stella" in Blockbuchstaben.

“Killing Stella” is based on the novel by Austrian writer Marlen Haushofer, who also wrote “The Wall”. “Killing Stella” is an ice-cold examination of a failed marriage and the self-reproach of a wife and mother. It is a prequel to “The Wall” in both literary and cinematic terms.
