COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The filmmaker bounced back with the twice Oscar-nominated drama Never Look Away, starring Tom Schilling and Sebastian Koch. The film was nominated at the 2019 Oscars in the Best International Film and Best Cinematography categories. Von Donnersmarck has a lean but diverse filmography, but he has proven himself a formidable filmmaker when he clicks.Kosove and Johnson expressed their excitement at collaborating with the director, as well as writer Steven Karczynski.
There’s very little to go on at the moment; with the leanest of plot descriptions, no cast and crew announcements, and not even a logo or title treatment to help us get a vibe of the project, it’s difficult to gauge exactly what sort of psychological thriller Vent will be. But considering von Donnersmarck’s experience at directing a film that kind of falls into this same bracket — The Lives of Others — we can expect the project to be in safe hands.
