March 7th has been confirmed as the debut date for Nele Mueller-Stöfen’s new thriller, Delicious. It’ll head to Netflix after it premieres at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival (aka Berlinale) in the Panorama section in mid-to-late February. Here’s a quick rundown of what we know about the new movie.
As mentioned, this is Nele Mueller-Stöfen’s feature film debut, having previously both written and directed the 2015 short, Am Strand. The writer and actress is best known for roles in titles like All My Loving, Eden, and Jack.
Komplizen Film, the production company behind the movie, has previously teamed with Netflix for the 2019 rap series Skylines. They’re also listed as one of the production companies on the Angelina Jolie musical biopic Maria, which Netflix acquired for a US release late last year.
What can you expect from the film? Per the official synopsis on Komplizen Film’s website:
“A German family spends the summer vacation in their French villa. The façade of their seemingly perfect life begins to crumble one evening when they hit a young woman on the country road and take her in. Behind the initial willingness to help, completely different needs soon come to light. Everyone in the family seems to be looking for something different in the woman, wanting to use her – a mistake that will soon be avenged and change the life of the whole family.”
