Reunion
1989 | NR | 110 mins. | Drama | DCP
In this engrossing and beautifully made drama directed by Jerry Schatzberg, Henry Strauss (Jason Robards) returns to Stuttgart, Germany to confront his past and learn the fate of an old friend. The visit prompts strong memories of a young Hans Strauss (Christien Anholt) meeting Konradin von Lohenburg (Samuel West) and forming a close friendship despite their differences in class, ethnicity, religion, and politics. Strauss strives to reconcile his nostalgic yearning for that friendship with everything torn asunder by the Nazis' rise to power.
“Much of what's impressive about its unfolding is the meticulous re-creation of Germany during the rise of Nazism (the superb production design is by the great Alexandre Trauner, who appears in a cameo in a warehouse office), as well as sensitive (and perhaps timely) depiction of how the gradual changes in national thinking were reflected in everyday life. It's a story that's been told before, but seldom with such feeling for detail and nuance. The performances are impeccable.” (Jonathan Rosenbaum)
