By Nicolette Krebitz, 2015, Germany, 97 min. With Lilith Stangenberg, Georg Friedrich, Silke Bodenbender.
In German with English subtitles.

Nicolette Krebitz confirms her talent and daring in this provocative love story between a wolf and a woman. Introverted Ania has been living a pretty standard life when her eyes cross with those of a wolf while walking in a forest. From that moment on a transformation takes place leading her to transcend societal conventions and to follow her instincts. Take note: eroticism between a wolf and a woman…

“An outstanding film (…) a magnificently unsettling view on love and the world.” – Der Spiegel

“Krebitz’s film questions the behavioral standards we take as given with quiet daring and disquieting sangfroid. “-Variety

“A walk on the wild side in the most literal sense, Wild is a wayward, confrontational, anarchic, sexually outré modern fairy tale that balances on a razor-sharp edge between the genuinely provocative and the totally out-there.” – Hollywood Reporter
