Review 'The Sparrow in the Chimney' An intoxicating summer fire of combustible family relationships

Independent distributor Film Movement has acquired North American rights to Swiss director Ramon Zürcher’s film “The Sparrow in the Chimney,” following its world premiere at the Locarno Film Festival.

Guy Lodge of Variety described the film as a "dark and compelling psychodrama of pent-up domestic tensions." The film explores the tumultuous relationship between two sisters, Karen and Jule, whose reunion at a family gathering reignites old conflicts and deep-seated emotional turmoil.

Zürcher, excited about the upcoming North American release, explained: “This film is an exploration of the invisible forces that shape us, particularly within the family structure.”
