Woman in Gold

2015 True Story

Helen Mirren stars as elderly Jewish refugee Maria Altmann in this moving true story. As a child, Maria was forced to flee Vienna with her family during the Second World War. The Nazis stole a number of items from their home, including Gustav Klimt’s famous portrait of her aunt Adele (Traue), which now hangs in Vienna’s Belvedere Gallery. With the help of her green, but stalwart, young lawyer Randol (Reynolds), Maria embarks on a legal battle against the Austrian Government itself to retrieve her family’s rightful property 60 years after it was taken from them.
