Reunion (1989)

New Restoration—Opens July 10

Henry Strauss (Jason Robards) returns to Stuttgart, Germany to confront his past and learn the fate of an old friend. The visit prompts strong memories of a young Hans Strauss (Christien Anholt) meeting Konradin von Lohenburg (Samuel West) and forming a close friendship despite their differences in class, ethnicity, religion, and politics. Strauss strives to reconcile his nostalgic yearning for that friendship with everything torn asunder by the Nazis’ rise to power.

“A meticulous re-creation of Germany during the rise of Nazism... It’s a story that’s been told before, but seldom with such feeling for detail and nuance…The performances are impeccable.”
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
"Reunion is Pinter at the top of his form, enhanced with set designs by Alexandre Trauner and cinematography by Bruno de Keyser…[Schatzberg] has again found a theme and a script worthy of his peculiar talents: to restrain the emotions only to make their release more powerful.”
Michel Ciment, Film Comment
