Our take

Inspired by Dogme 95, Jakob Lass filmed Love Steaks in a luxury hotel with two professional actors—including Franz Rogowski—playing alongside the establishment’s real staff. Combining improvisation with a planned narrative, this unusual love story dazzles with its raw energy and tragicomic flair.
