Winner, Best Director, 2026 Cannes Film Festival. Like his first two films (Cold War, Ida) Polish director Paweł Pawlikowski's third film, Fatherland, is shot in black and white and set in Eastern Europe during the Cold War. In 1949, famed German writer Thomas Mann (Hanns Zischler) returns to Germany after a 16-year exile with his none-too-thrilled daughter (Sandra Huller), and travels from West Germany to East Germany to accept the Goethe Prize. The film is beautifully written, directed and acted, with exquisite black-and-white cinematography by Łukasz Żal'.
