With „Never Look Away“ (German title „Werk Ohne Autor“), inspired by the early life and career of renowned contemporary artist Gerhard Richter, Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck once again looks into the dark corners of his country's recent history. The German candidate for the Oscar in the „Best Foreign Language Film“ category, the drama passes through three periods of German history to recount the story of the dramatic life of the artist Kurt (Tom Schilling), his passionate love for Elisabeth (Paula Beer), and the far-reaching relationship with his devious father-in-law Professor Seeband (Sebastian Koch) whose hand in fateful events in Kurt‘s life ultimately comes to light in his art and paintings. The soundtrack was scored by composer Max Richter.
