"How can you go on like this?" Mubi has debuted the second official trailer for the film Fatherland, the latest from acclaimed Polish filmmaker Paweł Pawlikowski. And it's a must see for many reasons! This premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, where it won the Best Director prize (in a tie). Our critic wrote a glowing review of it about how the story intertwines with music choices. After the end of WWII, Fatherland centers on the relationship between writer Thomas Mann and his daughter Erika — actress, writer & rally driver — as they embark on a road trip in a black Buick cruiser across a Germany in ruins, from U.S. dominated Frankfurt to Soviet controlled Weimar. Pawlikowski picks up where he left off with his award-winning Ida and Cold War, exploring – in his elliptic, distilled way – the themes of identity, family, love and guilt amid the turmoil and confusion of post-war Europe. Starring Sandra Hüller and Hanns Zischler as father and daughter Erika and Thomas Mann, with August Diehl, Devid Striesow, Anna Madeley. Featuring cinematography by iconic Polish DP Lukasz Zal. Ready for release this fall in the US with a stop at NYFF and London coming up. It's always worth watching any film with Sandra Hüller. // Continue Reading ›
