Adapted from Robert Walser’s 1908 novel, this visually and sonically opulent film is set against breathtaking pastoral landscapes, featuring lush cinematography, a mesmerizing electronic score, and an impeccable sense of style. The Assistant delves into the timeless themes of servitude, ambition, and human connection, exploring the invisible bonds that shape and constrain us all.
