OFFICIAL SELECTION – 2024 BERLIN FILM FESTIVAL (In Competition)
OPENING NIGHT GALA – 2024 GERMAN FILM FESTIVAL
Featuring a captivating central performance from Babylon Berlin star Liv Lisa Fries, the hugely affecting new historical drama from multi award-winning director Andreas Dresen depicts the remarkable true story of a young German woman drawn into the anti-Nazi resistance movement during World War II.
Anchored by the extraordinary Fries, who perfectly embodies a type of everyday heroine driven only by decency and what’s in her heart, Dresen’s compelling and humanistic film echoes the themes and impact of The Lives Of Others, as a war drama that – without depicting a single bullet being fired – speaks more eloquently about courage than many battle-heavy spectacles.
FROM HILDE, WITH LOVE is a deeply moving and inspiring achievement.
Excellent. Works beautifully. Liv Lisa Fries delivers a performance of joy and resilience.
Go see it.
