Mat gives his initial thoughts on Fatherland, screened at the Chicago International Film Festival ! Definitely a rewarding experience for those familiar with 40-50s German culture and art, as well as the political climate and parties that arose post ww2. (I am not that familiar lol but still had a good time!) #filmreview #filmfestival #chicagofilm #chicagofilm #filmpremie by @cinemaunlit
