Trailer Released for Taboo-Shattering German Drama GRAND JETÉ


Starring: Sarah Nevada Grether and Emil von SchΓΆnfels

Directed by: Isabelle Stever

Written by: Anna Melikova

Nadja (Sarah Nevada Grether) is an aspiring ballerina with the scars to prove it. A masochistic pursuit at her dream career has left her body battered, a map of the tumultuous torture dancers withstand on a daily basis. Working now as a dancing instructor for children, rather than as the dancer she always wanted to be, she decides to visit the adult son she has been estranged from since he was a child. 

Mario (Emil von SchΓΆnfels), raised by his grandmother, is similarly focused on his physical form and the abuse it takes to earn the physique he craves. When Nadja shows up at Mario's doorstep, it starts a relationship that is as sensitive as it is taboo-shattering, placing Grand JetΓ© alongside other provocative European films like Christophe HonorΓ©'s Ma mΓ¨re and Bertrand Blier's Beau Pere. 

Isabelle Stever's film, a selection of the Berlin International Film Festival, is a powerful character drama about familial boundaries and the lack thereof, with sensational (and daring) performances from Grether and SchΓΆnfels and striking, intimate cinematography by Constantin Campean.

Discovery Home Entertainment has delivered a truly special piece of animation that had me from start to finish. While the plot for the film is about what you'd expect from a direct to home video feature based on an animated series, there is something in the way all the pieces come together that is utterly compelling, making it impossible to look away. The story is well-crafted and the return of an imposing evil from the past adds a layer of depth and intensity that fans will appreciate. The voice talents in The Venture Bros. have always been top-notch, and R
