The Universal Theory

Timm Kröger’s Surreal The Universal Theory UK Trailer

There is a universe between us all in the UK Trailer for Timm Kröger‘s Surreal The Universal Theory.

After a positive run on the film festival circuit which included Glasgow, Picturehouse Entertainment picked up the film for the UK and cinema release next month.

How to describe The Universal Theory is described as  a mix of Noir, Hitchcockian inspired sci-fi , Lynchian Surrealism. Set in 1962 in the backdrop of the Cold War, a gifted young physicist meets an elusive pianist who finds himself trapped inside a mind-bending metaphysical web of murder and mystery.

Sounds an unique film, hard to exactly pinpoint and looking forward to seeing it on the big screen.

Amongst the towering landscape of the Swiss Alps, a gifted young physicist meets an elusive pianist – one who knows things about him that he’s never told another living soul. Before he knows it, his curiosity traps him inside a mind-bending metaphysical web of murder and mystery. Set in 1962, against the backdrop of cold war tensions and a world of paranoid conspiracy, the secrets that lie beneath the mountains are slowly revealed as his investigations deepen and the gripping truth is revealed.

Drawing on the cinema of masters like Alfred Hitchcock, David Lynch and Fritz Lang, director Timm Kröger impeccably blends past and present, reality and the surreal, to create something utterly unique. Ambitious, compelling and visually breathtaking, THE UNIVERSAL THEORY is a lush cinematic mystery not to be missed.

The film stars Jan Bülow, Olivia Ross, Hanns Zischler, Gottfried Breitfuss, David Bennent, and Philippe Graber. The Universal Theory will be released in UK and Irish cinemas from 13th December.
