The Art of Exile: A Film About the Inescapable Past Paweł Pawlikowski's taut and elegantly shot historical drama, Fatherland, has been making waves at the Cannes film festival.
The film brings to life a pivotal moment in Thomas Mann's life, the celebrated German novelist who fled Nazi Germany for California.
In 1949, Mann returned to his homeland to receive an award named after Goethe, the renowned German poet and playwright.
