\n\tMubi has released the official trailer and artwork for\u00a0Pawe\u0142 Pawlikowski\u2019s \u201cFatherland<\/a>\u201d following its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival<\/a>. The historical drama was among the festival\u2019s standout titles this year, eliciting plenty of critical praise and being tipped as an awards season contender.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFatherland,\u201d which in Cannes won the best director award in a tie with Spanish helmers Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi\u00a0for their \u201cLa Bola Negra,\u201d will be released by Mubi in U.S. theaters this fall. Mubi is also distributing \u201cFatherland\u201d in the U.K., Ireland, Spain, Italy, Benelux, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, Turkey and India.<\/p>\n

\n\tShot in black-and-white \u2014 just like Pawlikowski\u2019s preceding two works, \u201cIda\u201d and \u201cCold War,\u201d which also delve into the World War II years and their aftermath \u2014 \u201cFatherland\u201d revolves around the rapport between Nobel Prize-winning author Thomas Mann, played by Hanns Zischler\u00a0(\u201cMunich\u201d), and his daughter Erika (H\u00fcller), who is an actress, writer and rally driver. Set in the summer of 1949 at the height of the Cold War, the father and daughter embark on a road trip in a black Buick traveling from the U.S.-dominated Frankfurt to Soviet-controlled Weimar across a Germany in ruins.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMr. Mann, whose side are you on: Stalin or Mickey Mouse?\u201d Mann says to himself in a revelatory interior monologue featured at the start of the film\u2019s trailer, sitting meditatively in the Buick with Erika at the wheel.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe two actors are pitch-perfect, with H\u00fcller\u2019s Erika tart yet polite, reining herself in until she can\u2019t take the old man\u2019s buried narcissism anymore, at which point she lets her feelings fly,\u201d wrote Variety chief film critic Owen Gleiberman in his review<\/a>. A hint of Erika\u2019s rage can be seen at the end of the trailer.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor this film, Pawlikowski reunited with his longtime filmmaking team, which includes the Oscar-nominated cinematographer Lukasz Zal, costume designer Aleksandra Staszko, editor Piotr W\u00f3jcik, production designers Katarzyna Soba\u0144ska and Marcel S\u0142awi\u0144ski and composer Marcin Marsecki.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith a 82-minute runtime, \u201cFatherland\u201d was the shortest feature film in the year\u2019s Cannes competition lineup.<\/p>\n

\n\tPawlikowski\u2019s\u00a0\u201cIda\u201d won the 2015 international Oscar and a slew of other awards. Pawlikowski won the best director award at Cannes in 2018 for\u00a0\u201cCold War,\u201d which went on to score many other accolades, including three Oscar nominations.<\/p>\n
