variety.comEd Meza @edmezavar Austrian-German production company Schubert is moving forward with a slate of films by distinctive auteur filmmakers, among them the historical drama “Rose,” by Austrian writer-director Markus Schleinzer and starring Sandra Hüller (“The Zone of Interest”).
Founded by Johannes Schubert in 2020, the Vienna and Berlin-based company partnered with ROW Pictures in Leipzig and Munich’s Walker + Worm Film on “Rose,” Schleinzer’s third feature, which follows a 17th-century woman who, disguised as a man, begins a new life in a protestant village at the end of the Thirty Years’ War.
