“Mubi opens “ Fatherland ” in select theaters starting Friday, October 23.”
“Read More: Cannes Fatherland Festivals Film Pawel Pawlikowski Reviews Daily Headlines Daily Headlines covering Film, TV and more.”
“(Erika had a rich career as a writer and war correspondent, but that’s for another film.) “Let’s go home,” Erika says at one point to her father on their journey.”
“His latest, “Fatherland,” takes us on a melancholy road trip from U.S.-operated Frankfurt to Soviet-run Weimar in Germany with “The Magic Mountain” author Thomas Mann (Hanns Zischler) and his daughter Erika ( Sandra Hüller ) in 1949.”
“Pawlikowski loyalists will also appreciate a cameo from “Cold War” star Joanna Kulig (who in that film was playing a version of the filmmaker’s mother) as a lounge singer.”
“Shooting Poland for Germany, Pawlikowski’s regular cinematographer Łukasz Żal follows the Manns’ black Buick through a haunted, guilt-ridden Germany from a characteristically chilly remove.”
“Indeed, Zischler’s Mann is a lost soul, and these two, to quote Nick Cave, are a bit “like two lost suitcases on a carousel going nowhere.” Fans of Pawlikowski’s style will feel coldly, cozily at home in how their emotionally stingy relationship plays out.”
“Auden, as the script conspicuously points out) at a fancy cocktail party, and a car ride with German Communist author Johannes R.”

“Grade: B “Fatherland” premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival.”
“But that also means that he doesn’t quite psychologically penetrate either of the Manns as immersively as his previous work.”
“Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Are Taking Time Apart After His Instagram Scandal 4.”
“The road trip beginning in Frankfurt and ending in Weimar, where a celebration of Goethe’s 200th birthday is set to take place, becomes the setting for father and daughter to perhaps ease the strains in their relationship.”
“About as sentimental as any film by the Polish auteur gets — which is to say not at all, despite one long-delayed tear finally shed — it’s another austere, rigorously crafted odyssey through European postwar regret.”
“Hüller plays Erika as a kind of doting clerk who has spent more than a decade defending his reputation against accusations of Communism and more (Mann was also, like his son, understood to be homosexual, though this film doesn’t dig into that aspect of the “Death in Venice” author’s life).”
