Sandra Hüller can’t go home again in Paweł Pawlikowski’s Fatherland

Paweł Pawlikowski’s third historical black-and-white film, Fatherland, is a haunting drama of a family without a country. Politics pushed them away from their home in 1930s Germany, and in the 1940s, new allegiances dividing up the country are making it difficult just for a visit. As a famous father and his dutiful daughter tiptoe through a political minefield post-WWII, they realize they are strangers in their own homeland.
