alt "The annual 'Animation Show of Shows' provides a welcome reminder that the art form can be used for more than CG studio features. The styles and subjects of the 15 films from six countries in the 20th edition demonstrate that in the right hands, animation can be a vehicle for personal expression as powerful and intimate as drawing, painting or sculpture."
-- Los Angeles Times

alt "Like Von Donnersmarck's remarkable 2006 debut feature, 'The Lives of Others', 'Never Look Away' burrows into the heart of a bitterly divided Germany and asks what role, if any, art can play in times of political chaos and moral confusion...It is stately and composed, clear-eyed and engrossing."
-- Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times

NEVER LOOK AWAY

Historical drama/thriller; In German and Russian with English subtitles; 188 minutes; 2019

"In his new film, Donnersmarck presents another period drama, this one a portrait of the (fictional) artist Kurt Barnert as a young man. The film begins before the violence of World War II takes over, and continues through the founding of the German Democratic Republic and the construction of the Berlin Wall, the epic, tragic sweep of twentieth-century Germany. Kurt's artistic development and personal history closely mirror that of Gerhard Richter, one of Germany's most celebrated living artists."
-- Anna Altman, The New Republic

Directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck
Starring Tom Schilling, Sebastian Koch, Paula Beer
