The Rolling Tape

Mascha Schilinski’s century-spanning German epic is a visual poem about time, memory, and gendered violence that unfolds across four generations of women connected to the same rural farmhouse. The film collapses these timelines by slipping in and out of different eras in German history to reveal the cyclical nature of their transgenerational trauma. Its atmospheric cinematography bleeds these timelines together with a ghostlike presence. Today, we have the opportunity to share a conversation with film's director, Mascha Schilinski, and cinematographer, Fabian Gamper, who share their creative process and vision for the film. Sound of Falling won the Jury Prize at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival and is Germany's submission to the International Feature category at the Academy Awards. MUBI will release Sound of Falling in U.S. theaters on January 16.

This is a re-release of Season 2 of our RETRO//RANKED podcast series.  We recorded the episode upon the release of 28 Years Later in 2025, and we are resharing it in honor of Nia DaCosta's 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple hitting theaters this weekend. 
The 28 franchise is a British post-apocalyptic horror series that began with the groundbreaking film 28 Days Later (2002), directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland. Widely credited with revitalizing the zombie genre, the franchise is known for its depiction of "fast zombies" — humans infected by the highly contagious Rage virus, which induces uncontrollable aggression within seconds of exposure. On this solo RETRO//RANKED episode for Season 2, we collaboratively rank the three entries to the 28 franchise, 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, and 28 Years Later.
