From Hilde, With Love15

Directed by Andreas Dresen | Germany | 2024 | 2h 5m | German w/ English subtitles | Starring Liv Lisa Fries, Johannes Hegemann, Lisa Wagner, Alexander Scheer, Emma Bading

In 1940s Berlin, Hilde joins the anti-Nazi resistance group known as the Red Orchestra and falls in love with fellow fighter Hans. Their bond deepens over a fleeting summer marked by quiet acts of defiance. But when a heavily pregnant Hilde is arrested by the Gestapo, she must summon unimaginable strength to face what lies ahead. Inspired by an extraordinary true story, Andreas Dresen’s deeply humanistic film is a moving portrait of love, resistance, and resilience in the face of oppression.

Reviews

‘The guttural connection between Hilde and Hans takes precedence over their revolutionary acts in a film that tacitly acknowledges the symbolic, rather than practical, achievements of Red Orchestra.’
★★★★
Kevin Maher, The Times

‘Liv Lisa Fries gives an outstanding performance in this heartwrenchingly powerful true story’
★★★★
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
