Never Look Away
Inspired by real events and spanning three eras of German history, NEVER LOOK AWAY tells the story of a young art student, Kurt (Tom Schilling), who falls in love with fellow student Ellie (Paula Beer). Ellie's father and famous doctor, Professor Seeband (Sebastian Koch), is dismayed at his daughter's choice of boyfriend and vows to destroy the relationship. What neither Kurt nor Ellie knows is that their lives are already connected through a terrible crime Seeband committed decades ago.
Critic Reviews:
- " An absolute stunner of a film. " – Richard Propes
- " It's a portentous and absorbing exercise on reminiscences, family confidences and the reforming preponderance of art. " – Yasser Medina
- " The film makes a strong case for the idea that a society can be judged by its relationship to art – that there is a strong correlation between artistic faculty and political morality. " – Georgie Carr
