Screening of the biographical period drama about writer Thomas Mann and his daughter Erika on a road trip through post-war Germany.
Fatherland is coming to The Dome Cinema in Worthing, with screenings running from Friday 6 November through to Sunday 8 November. It's a biographical period drama that follows the writer Thomas Mann and his daughter Erika on a road trip through post-war Germany, so it's as much about a family relationship as it is about a particular moment in history.
Mann is one of the big names of 20th-century literature, and the film puts him in a very specific setting: Germany in the aftermath of the Second World War. The road trip format gives the story a sense of movement, taking the two of them across a country that's still picking up the pieces. It's a biographical piece, so it's based on the real people and the real time, and the focus stays on the dynamic between father and daughter as they travel together.

There are three screenings to choose from over the weekend, so you can pick the one that fits your plans. The first is on Friday 6 November at 14:00, followed by a Saturday 7 November showing at 17:00, and a Sunday 8 November screening at 16:30. The film runs for 82 minutes, so it's a relatively short one — just under an hour and a half — and you'll be in and out in a single afternoon or early evening. All three are at The Dome Cinema in Worthing, with the Friday and Sunday slots in the afternoon and the Saturday one a bit later.
