“Visually striking” The Hollywood Reporter

"A sight to behold” International Cinephile Society

“Ingenious” ★★★★ Time Out

It's 1962. Against the towering landscape of the post-war Swiss Alps, a gifted young physicist meets an elusive pianist – one who knows things about him that he’s never told another living soul. Before he knows it, his curiosity traps him inside a mind-bending metaphysical web of murder and mystery.

Drawing on the cinematic masters like Alfred Hitchcock, David Lynch and Fritz Lang, director Timm Kröger impeccably blends past and present, black and white, reality and the surreal, to create something utterly unique.

Ambitious, compelling and visually breathtaking, The Universal Theory is a lush cinematic mystery not to be missed.
