| Summary: | Austrian author Stefan Zweig was a cosmopolitan, a pacifist and a bonafide literary star. A contemporary of Freud, Dali and Theodore Herzl, he was, for a time, the most-translated writer in Europe. Foreseeing Europe’s decline at an early stage, Zweig left his native country in 1934, never to return from exile. Distracted, and emotionally and financially depleted by his wanderings, Zweig and his second young wife, Lotte, moved between Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, New York, and Petrópolis; all the while trying to make sense of the state of the world, and his own personal existence. Winner of Best Direction at the **Bavarian Film Awards**. Winner of Best Actor at the **German Film Critics Association Awards**. "*This intelligent biopic is kept aloft by Josef Hader's sensitive performance as the kind, gentlemanly Zweig.*" - J. R. Jones, **Chicago Reader** |
