Film showing: 'Never Look Away' in the Forum Cinema on at 7pm on Tuesday 11th February 2020

Never Look Away (German: ,Werk ohne Autor', lit. 'Work Without Author') is a 2018 German coming-of-age romantic drama film written and directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. It was nominated for a Golden Lion at the 75th Venice International Film Festival and for a Golden Globe by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. It was nominated for two Academy Awards at the 91st Academy Awards in the Best Foreign Language Film and Best Cinematography categories. This was only the second time that a German-language film by a German director was nominated for an Oscar in multiple categories, the other film being Wolfgang Petersen's Das Boot 36 years previously.
The plot revolves around German artist Kurt Barnert who has escaped East Germany and now lives in West Germany but is tormented by his childhood under the Nazis and the GDR-(East German)-regime. The writer/director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck explained extensively that Never Look Away is a work of fiction but that the point of inspiration had been an article by famed German investigative reporter Jürgen Schreiber about the German painter Gerhard Richter. Richter's aunt Marianne Schönfelder had been murdered by the Nazis because she developed schizophrenia. Richter immortalised her in a painting titled Aunt Marianne in which the aunt is holding Gerhard Richter as a baby. Trailer here. Booking details here. |
