Laurine Price delivers a haunting, intelligent performance in Traumnovelle (Dream Story), anchoring the film with quiet power and emotional precision. In the lead role as Amelia, she inhabits the role with a hypnotic restraint that feels both modern and timeless. Elegant on the surface, yet charged with unspoken longing beneath.
In director Florian Frerichs’ neo-noir reimagining of Arthur Schnitzler’s novella, Laurine’s Amelia becomes the emotional catalyst of the story. Her confession is delivered with nuance rather than provocation and sets the narrative into motion, unraveling a marriage and sending the film spiraling into a seductive, surreal exploration of desire, jealousy, and identity in modern Berlin. It’s a performance that recalls the psychological depth of Nicole Kidman’s turn in Eyes Wide Shut, yet Laurine makes the role entirely her own.
What’s most compelling is her command of stillness. Laurine understands that Amelia’s power lies not in spectacle, but in interiority. Her glances that linger, the calm that unsettles, the emotional intelligence that quietly dominates the frame. Opposite Nikolai Kinski, she creates a complex, intimate dynamic that grounds the film’s dreamlike descent in human truth.
- Premiering at the 2024 Oldenburg Film Festival, Traumnovelle stands out not only for its bold homage to cinematic history, but for performances that elevate the material. Laurine Price emerges as the film’s emotional compass. It’s fearless, refined, and deeply watchable. This is a sophisticated, international turn that signals a compelling next chapter in her career.
