Following its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, MUBI has released a poster and trailer for the critically acclaimed biographical drama Fatherland.
Directed by Paweł Pawlikowski, the film centres on the relationship between German novelist Thomas Mann and his daughter, the writer and actress Erika Julia Hedwig Mann, as they embark on an emotional road trip across Germany, in the summer of 1949.
The cast includes Hanns Zischler, Sandra Hüller, August Diehl, Devid Striesow, and Anna Madeley. Watch the trailer below…
In the summer of 1949, at the height of the Cold War, father and daughter embark on a challenging and emotional road trip in a black Buick taking them across a Germany in ruins – from US dominated Frankfurt to Soviet controlled Weimar. Returning home after sixteen years of exile in the US, Thomas Mann has to face not only a divided fatherland, but also a deep fracture within his own family.
Fatherland is coming to UK and Irish cinemas in the autumn.
