"Twenty-two Trains" Hits the Big Screen: equivalently moving as the acclaimed novel
In the world of literature and cinema, anticipation is building for the release of the film adaptation of Caroline Wahl's bestselling novel, "22 Lanes". The film, set for release on September 4th, promises to be a poignant and moving portrayal of two sisters, Tilda and Ida, who struggle with their mother's alcoholism.
Actress Luna Wedler, who plays Tilda in the film, has immersed herself in the role, spending days swimming to prepare for her character's 22-lane swims, a metaphor for Tilda's quest for inner peace. Wedler found empathy for Tilda's character from the start, and the atmosphere depicted in the film closely resembles the one Caroline Wahl felt while writing the novel.
Tilda takes on the mother role for her younger sister Ida, with painstaking organisation of family life, and her little sister's math studies and swimming providing support. However, Tilda's life is not without its challenges. She faces future anxieties and the ghosts of her past, as well as the recurring threats posed by her mother's alcoholism and violent outbursts.
The film also stars Laura Tonke and Jannis Niewoehner, and the screenplay was written independently of Caroline Wahl, although she was allowed to have a say. Wahl, who has also received praise for her follow-up novel, "Wind speeds 17", expressed her pleasure with the film adaptation of "22 Lanes".
Despite the pressure of following a successful book, Wedler did not feel overwhelmed. Instead, she felt a responsibility to do justice to the readers who love the book. Her dedication to the role is evident in her powerful performance, which promises to move audiences when the film is released.
While information about the producer of the film adaptation is not readily available, the film is based on the bestselling book of the same name, which sold over 600,000 copies in the German-speaking world and remained on the bestseller list for months. With its compelling storyline and powerful performances, "22 Lanes" is set to be a must-see for film and literature enthusiasts alike.
