Sarah Plays a Werewolf

About Sarah Plays a Werewolf

17-year old Sarah, filled with adolescent angst, is an extreme person who in her rehearsals with a theatre group is transformed until she is almost in a trance, and her performances at home or elsewhere verge on excess. A cold, intellectual father, a timid mother, a younger sister and an older brother who has left home complete the picture: a silent time bomb.

Sarah Plays a Werewolf is a 2017 drama film directed by Katharina Wyss. At 86 minutes long, it arrived in October 2017.

Its themes are loneliness, child abuse, family secrets, and opera.

Loane Balthasar takes the lead as Sarah, Michel Voïta as Raphaël, Manuela Biedermann as Monica, and Simon Bonvin as Benjamin. The screenplay is by Josa Sesink and Katharina Wyss.
