Not only has the German star had key parts in two of the most talked-about studio films of the year – the acclaimed Project Hail Mary and the rather more divisive Digger – she's also had starring roles in two very well-received black-and-white German language films.
Rose won't be released in UK cinemas until next February, but Fatherland arrives this weekend – five months after it received rave reviews at its Cannes Film Festival premiere.
The film is centred on the revered, Nobel prize-winning German writer Thomas Mann (Hanns Zischler) as he returns to his homeland in 1949, years after he had fled on the eve of World War II.
And speaking to Radio Times about playing the role, she revealed that he felt a "certain responsibility" in playing a real world figure such as Erika Mann, even though the narrative featured in the film is fictionalised."You want to do them justice in a way," she said. "But at the same time, we know the limitations of the possibilities to do so, because we are only showing five days in their lives. That they haven't actually spent together.
"And to find out about it... the letters they were writing to each other were very helpful in that. I can only describe it as one of the biggest pleasures of my life to explore that."

"But they have to do it because they are in some way urged to... and this is something very strange. Thomas is driven by the mission. They are aware that this might be a failure, but it's worth doing it. That's the Thomas and Erika Mann thing to do."
The film forms a loose thematic trilogy with Pawlikowski's previous two works – Ida and Cold War – both of which were also period films set in the middle of the twentieth century.
"Since we live in the present, the films we make are informed by that, so you cannot really separate these two," Hüller explained.
"Think of TS Eliot, Four Quartets," added Zischler, referring to the 1936 poem Burnt Norton. "Time present is contained in time past. And that means we always think of containment, of thinking we have a certain time past that we know better than the present.
Fatherland is released in UK cinemas on Friday 23 October.
