Over deze film

Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren and Ryan Reynolds star in this remarkable true story of one woman's battle for justice. Sixty years after she fled Vienna during World War II, Maria Altmann (Mirren) seeks to retrieve her family possessions seized by the Nazis, among them Klimt's famous painting Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I. Together with her inexperienced but plucky young lawyer Randy Schoenberg (Reynolds), she embarks upon a journey which takes them all the way to the heart of the Austrian establishment and the U.S. Supreme Court.

This moving film tells the story of the tragic experiences of a Jewish woman forced from her home and country under Nazi occupation. But the story unfolds around her efforts to reclaim a family portrait of her beloved aunt, stolen by Nazi's and eventually claimed by the post-War Austrian Government. In the process of legal battle, the iconic painting becomes a symbol of the pivotal struggle within the Austrian people to reconcile their Nazi past and provide justice for its Jewish victims.
