Stefan Zweig: Farewell to Europe

Acclaimed as an actor, Maria Schrader (Aimée and Jaguar, In Darkness) exhibits her sharp directorial craft by chronicling the years Stefan Zweig, one of the most-read German-language writers of his time, spent in exile. The film, told in five chapters, follows Zweig from the early 1930s until 1942, between Buenos Aires, New York, and Brazil. As a Jewish intellectual, Zweig struggles to find a nuanced stance on Hitler’s rise to power, while searching for a home in the new world. Schrader’s penetrating film is as much about a tormented literary icon as it is about a continent going up in flames. Starring Josef Hader as Zweig and Barbara Sukowa (Hannah Arendt) as his first wife, Friderike.

This film is part of the Westchester Jewish Film Festival 2017 series.
