We love it when talented people gravitate toward other talented people, and this news is a big example of this -- the great and talented Sandra Hüller of Anatomy of a Fall and The Zone of Interest (hey I was just making a joke about that role earlier this week that I don't think a lot of people got) and Toni Erdmann (I can't even begin to tell you how often Toni Erdmann bobs about in my brain) is teaming up with the great and talented director Paweł Pawlikowski of Cold War and Ida fame. It's titled 1949 and here's how they're describing it:
"Set at the height of the Cold War, 1949 centres on the relationship between the writer Thomas Mann (Hanns Zischler) and his daughter Erika (Sandra Hüller); actress, journalist and rally driver, as they embark on a road trip in a black Buick cruiser across a Germany in ruins – from U.S. dominated Frankfurt to Soviet controlled Weimar."
Hanns Zischler is a legendary German actor who starred in Wim Wenders' Kings of the Road and Chantal Akerman's Meetings With Anna and has been working steadily ever since -- I just saw him in 2023's terrific brain-bender The Universal Theory most recently. The movie also co-stars the great August Diehl from Inglourious Basterds and A Hideen Life. Talented people y'all! Anyway now that I'm thinking about it I should re-watch Cold War. What a good fuckin' movie.
