Storyline

plundered by the Nazis during World War II. She did so not just to regain what
was rightfully hers, but also to obtain some measure of justice for the death,
destruction, and massive art theft perpetrated by the Nazis.
Reviews
While this is a deeply moving
story, this is the first film about the Holocaust I've ever heard of that is
not intensely violent or overwhelmingly gut-wrenching. You could take the whole
family to see Woman in Gold without being concerned in the slightest about
traumatizing even a child. The story is told in such a straightforward way you
get to feel like you are a friend of the Altman and Bloch-Bauer family! It's
that intimate! Wow! That's what I call good filmmaking!
The next time you visit New York City I highly recommend visiting The Neue Gallery located on Museum Mile. Seeing the Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I by Gustav Klimt in real life is quite an experience! There's good reason why the painting is called the "Mona Lisa of Austria." This is also a story about being a good lawyer.
If you want to be a lawyer someday, this story will give you an idea what a determined and intelligent lawyer can accomplish!
