REMEMBRANCE
Australia Premiere USA Poland 2011 Anna Justice
105 mins English German Polish English subtitles
About the movie: Anna Justice (Max Minsky and Me) captures survival, love, courage and their consequences in a “must see” adaptation of this true story. Hannah Levine, her husband David and daughter have a comfortable life in 1970s Manhattan. Her old life is generally sealed from view and rarely emerges. But how quickly elegance and refinement can be emotionally dismantled. A chance sighting of Tamasz Limanowski on a TV interview stirs Hannah to find her Polish wartime lover, who saved her from the camp and smuggled out photo evidence of the Final Solution.
Despite the consequences for her present life, this Pandora’s box from the past has been opened and will not be closed without some resolution for a past love that could not be eliminated, though it had to be discarded. A reserved woman at the best of times, Hannah’s need to follow every lead drives her to the tracing service of the Red Cross. Old documents appear, doors are closed, she disappears from a party she and David are hosting even though their apartment is full of guests.
How will Hannah share this with a husband who is deeply respectful of her past and secure in his marriage to a survivor whose past is her own terrain? How will Rebecca cope with her mother’s secret life three decades on? When Tamasz is found, what will these two very different adults decide to do?
Remembrance depicts a remarkable love story that blossomed amidst the terror of a German concentration camp in 1944 Poland. Mateusz Damięcki plays the role of young Tomasz – who in the second part of the film is played by Lech Mackiewicz. Also starring: Lena Olin, Joanna Kulig, Alice Wyder, Susanne Lothar, Florian Lukas and Adrian Topol.
