Hailed as “a masterpiece” by European critics and “phenomenal” by The Hollywood Insider, this film is a fascinating exploration of a little-known aspect of musical life in Nazi Germany. Dealing with themes of guilt, Jewish identity, the father/son dynamic, and the responsibilities of the Second Generation, Winter Journey is moving proof of William Faulkner’s observation that “the past is never dead; it isn’t even past.” Starring Bruno Ganz in his last film appearance.
