Have you caught Christian Schwochow's historical drama Munich yet, based on Robert Harris' award-winning pre-World War II novel? Deadline called it "a gripping watch," the Times "a must-see thriller." If you missed our Goethe Film Talk with Piers Handling, catch the capture here.Following on the heels of Je Suis Karl (also on Netflix and also starring Berlinale Shooting Star Jannis Niewöhner), Schwochow's feverish dissection of the continuing lure of fascism, the director takes us back to Munich 1938 and the momentous meeting between Chamberlain and Hitler that would decide Europe's future. In our Goethe Film Talk on 28 January, we are adding a North American perspective on the Netflix UK production and its historical setting with our guest Piers Handling (TIFF). Handling led the Toronto International Film Festival as CEO for three decades and is intimately familiar with European cinema, having curated for the British Film Institute among others. He is also a trained historian and spent time in Germany, where his father was stationed with the Canadian army. Handling will be in conversation with Toronto arts journalist Eric Veillette and will take audience questions.
