Films about Nazi stolen art seem to be all the rage right now! After the recent release of THE MONUMENTS MEN, it now seems that another movie will be tackling a rather similar issue of stolen art, although from a less action-oriented and more courtroom focused perspective.
THE WOMAN IN GOLD is set to star Dame Helen Mirren, who just over a week ago received the BAFTA Fellowship award, and joining her will be none other than THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 3’s biggest star Andrew Garfield. Under the direction of Simon Curtis (MY WEEK WITH MARILYN), the film follows the story of Maria Altmann, a woman who worked with lawyer Randol Schoenberg to take legal action against the Austrian government in order to recover art works that once belonged to her family and were stolen by the Nazis. And if this cast was not spectacular enough, it is rumoured that Daniel Bruhl will also be appearing in the film as an Austrian official.
Taking its name from Gustav Klimt’s “The Lady in Gold, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer“, who incidently was Atlmann’s aunt, THE WOMAN IN GOLD is sure to be one of the better films coming to our screens in the next year.
