In the summer of 1949, at the height of the Cold War, Nobel Prize-winning writer Thomas Mann (Hanns Zischler) and his daughter Erika (Sandra Hüller) embark on a challenging and emotional road trip across a Germany in ruin — returning home after 16 years of exile in the U.S. As with prior films IDA and COLD WAR, director Paweł Pawlikowski constructs memorable setpieces as little cathedrals in luminous black-and-white.

Ken Russell’s outrageously surreal take on the life of the hedonist 19th century virtuoso Franz Liszt (Roger Daltrey, fresh from TOMMY), whose dazzling music and magnetism drive women to hysterics and whose rivalry with fellow composer Richard Wagner culminates in an epic musical showdown.
