“FATHERLAND is suffused with its characters’ longing, with desires that they express and others they can’t. There’s pathos in some of their words, though often it is what remains unsaid that hits hardest.”
—Manohla Dargis, New York Times (Critic’s Pick)

“Sandra Hüller gives the kind of quietly grand performance you never forget, the kind that perfectly matches this quietly grand movie.”
—Alison Willmore, New York Magazine

The new film, shot in characteristically luminous black and white, from Polish master Pawel Pawlikowski (IDA, COLD WAR) stars Sandra Hüller as an independent woman torn between eras.

Set at the height of the Cold War, FATHERLAND centers on the relationship between the writer Thomas Mann and his daughter Erika—actress, writer, and rally driver—as they embark on a road trip in a black Buick cruiser across a Germany in ruins, from U.S. dominated Frankfurt to Soviet controlled Weimar.
