Hidden Life, A

Singular filmmaker Terrence Malick (Tree of Life, Badlands) returns to narrative form with a majestic historical drama inspired by real life events. Debuting at the Cannes Film Festival to rave reviews, many critics hailed the film as Malick’s greatest achievement to date as it deconstructs religion and nationalism amid stunning scenery, epic cinematography and a stirring score. When Austrian farmer Franz Jägerstätter (August Diehl) refuses to fight for the Nazis during World War II, he is faced with the threat of treason. Standing his ground, his unwavering faith and love for his wife and children help to keep his spirit alive.
