IN THE FADE
Starring Diane Kruger, Winner of Best Actress at Cannes
Celebrated German auteur Fatih Akin (Head-On, The Edge of Heaven) returns with this gritty drama about a grief-stricken woman (Diane Kruger) struggling with the emotional aftermath of a terrorist attack.
Selected as Germany’s official submission for the Academy Awards Best Foreign Language Film, Fatih Akin’s tightly-wound revenge
thriller stars Diane Kruger as a woman struggling to overcome her profound grief in the wake of a neo-Nazi terrorist attack that leaves her husband and son dead. Awarded the Best Actress prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Kruger provides a stunningly fearless and grounded lead performance as the victim of an increasingly prevalent form of violence, pushed to the edge and forced to find her own justice in the wake of a failed judicial system. (Germany, 2018, 105 min., R, German| Dir. Faith Akin)
