Woman in Gold is a very inspirational and touching movie based on a true story about WW2 on a subject that has never received much attention so far: the retrieval of precious artwork unjustly stolen by the Nazis from Jewish families. It’s the journey of a Jewish woman, Maria Altmann (played by Helen Mirren) who fights to get her aunt’s famous painting ‘The Lady in Gold’ by Klimt back, which is considered to be the Austrian Mona Lisa. WOMAN IN GOLD will be in cinemas from 10th April 2015.
