Author Len Deighton has passed away, and [his obituary on the BBC](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cervgrvekxzo) mentioned his novel [_SS-GB_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS-GB) (1977) (I read it in the 80s, and saw [the miniseries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS-GB_(TV_series)) maybe 8~9 years ago) predated fellow alternate history _Fatherland_ (by Robert Harris, 1992) by multiple years.

neutral · AI labelView post →FATHERLAND (Paweł Pawlikowski, 2026). Elegantly acted, impeccably directed, beautifully shot & framed, this melancholic, deeply affecting portrayal of Thomas & Erika Mann’s journey to both sides of a divided Germany in 1949 is an exquisite gem. Very much in the tradition of COLD WAR & IDA, >> #LFF

negative · AI labelView post →So, I'm supposed have kids for the Fatherland? Didn't we see that movie in WW2 Germany? Anyway, bringing a kid into corrupt Trumplandia is tantamount to cruel and unusual punishment.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Fatherland as part of #LFF at QFT Belfast last night. A beautifully shot, atmospheric & impeccably cast movie. Pawlikowski has delivered a film of poise & grace, tragedies both past & present haunt every scene and yet the elegance of the characters belies the pain & turmoil within. #FilmSky
positive · AI labelView post →"The film’s brilliance lies in its ability to combine seriousness of content and lightness of texture," wrote Jonathan Romney about Paweł Pawlikowski's "Fatherland" out of its Cannes premiere

positive · AI labelView post →Pawel Pawlikowski (with scenes from his film "Fatherland") - BOTD
neutral · AI labelView post →Sandra Hüller is great in ROSE (though I think she's even better in FATHERLAND). She's so good in this that she gives wonderful complexity to a film that can be too on the nose. The film is playing at Chicago International Film Festival. My review via @ebertvoices.bsky.social
neutral · AI labelView post →very funny to go to a movie in 4DX and get a trailer for Fatherland
neutral · AI labelView post →Yesterday, I saw FATHERLAND for the second time and was struck (again) by the spareness & subtlety of this film - both are perfectly judged. The scene where Sandra Hüller is on the phone with her mother is a masterclass in conveying painful emotions with elegance & restraint. #FilmSky #Fatherland

neutral · AI labelView post →The close to Pavel Pawlikowski’s Fatherland, with Bach being played on a church organ among the ruins, is one of the most powerful endings to a film that I’ve ever seen.
positive · AI labelView post →Pawel Pawlikowski. Fatherland. Pawlikowski’s film offers a fictionalised take on a momentous journey: Nobel Prize-winning author, humanist and anti-Nazi campaigner Thomas Mann’s return from exile to Germany in the aftermath of the Second World War. youtu.be/-I2-X9v-ogs

Hanns Zischler stars as Thomas Mann on his 1949 tour of Germany, contending with political barbs, personal tragedy and his daughter, played by an extraordinary Sandra Hüller www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ma... via @theguardian.com @peterbradshaw1.bsky.social

But I saw it in the wonderful Cobble Hill Cinema, old school, nice audience. Fatherland at Film Forum I loved. Ethically tense, subtle

neutral · AI labelView post →It’ll be tricky to top FATHERLAND as the best film of Cannes 2026. Weeping by the end. Sandra Hüller is one of the best actresses of her generation. My review:
positive · AI labelView post →Like everybody, I think FATHERLAND is the clear best film so far at this year's Cannes.
positive · AI labelView post →I have never been able to find a clip of it, but there is a moment in the movie FATHERLAND, where the Nazis won the war, where an old German actress is talking and then suddenly shifts into full Nazi. It was absolutely chilling...
neutral · AI labelView post →I have just been to see Fatherland. A beautifully fashioned, deeply meaningful film. I don’t think I have seen so persuasive a screen depiction of Germany in the late 1940s, whether Frankfurt or the eery emptiness of the East. And the scene with the Wagner brothers is worth the ticket price alone.
positive · AI labelView post →If you haven’t seen it yet: the movie ‘Fatherland’ is very good on this, inter alia.

neutral · AI labelView post →I adored Paweł Pawlikowski's previous film Cold War, but FATHERLAND feels far too slight at only 82 minutes (including credits!) It's beautifully shot and Sandra Hüller is, as always, stellar, but just as it felt like it was starting to make interesting cinematic connections, it was over.
