Woman in Gold (2015 Simon Curtis)

Helen Mirren good as always as Austrian refugee, Ryan Reynolds suitably restrained as her lawyer, Daniel Brühl is Viennese contact. Pleasingly, the Klimts do remain in Vienna.

And I had no idea that gold leaf was used in the portrait.

Based on the real story told by participants Maria Altmann and E Randol Schoenberg.

Inadvertently we can't seem to get away from war films, but this one is sensitively handled in flashback scenes.
