Shakespeare’s tragedy *Richard III* reimagined—in a film bursting with energy and visual spectacle from the 2025 Berlinale: Two great houses, the Arab clans of York and Lancaster, have taken their war from the streets of Berlin to the courtroom. Rashida is the youngest daughter and a lawyer of the House of York. Today she ends the years-long gang conflict with a bloody attack on the leaders of the Lancaster clan. Peace at last! But as a woman, Rashida is merely a pawn in this man’s world. In the gangsters’ peace, she is condemned to obedience. Sister, yes. Daughter, sure. But queen—she’ll never be that. Yet Rashida refuses to be obedient. She wants to rule. If she wants the crown, Rashida must scheme, must seduce enemies and kill lovers… Then, at the height of her power, Rashida is overtaken by the violence of a very different war: the one raging within her, born of her memories... Five years after his electrifying adaptation of “Berlin Alexanderplatz,” Burhan Qurbani returns with a production that completely reinterprets William Shakespeare’s “Richard III” and transposes it to present-day Berlin. In doing so, he brings the female characters to the forefront: alongside Kenda Hmeidan as Rashida York, Verena Altenberger and Hiam Abbass shine in powerful roles. With a dense atmosphere, visual rigor, and precisely honed dialogue, “Kein Tier. So Wild.” leads us into a world that seems familiar yet feels entirely unique. "This visually stunning and theatrical reinterpretation of the tragedy ‘Richard III’ does not simply force Shakespeare’s original through the template of migrant discourse, but rather explores the abysses of hatred and loneliness that open up in the dramatic material through a female character exploding with inner contradictions. A fascinating variation on the classic in terms of staging, language, and performance. - Worth seeing" (Lexikon des Internationalen Films)
