The truth been told

Rating: 9/10 (20 June 2015)

The story is about Maria Altmann (Helen Mirren), a Viennese born resident of Los Angeles, who fought the Austrian government for ownership of various paintings (mainly the "Woman In Gold", which was her aunt's painting painted by Gustav Klimt), stolen from her family by the Nazi Party during the second world war. The story moves on a very emotional note as it shows the harassment and torture the Jewish people had to go through during the second world war. The "Woman In Gold" had became a icon of the Austrian culture and the government reluctant to let it go. Randol Schoenberg (Ryan Reynolds) a lawyer and Maria Altmann teams up and decides to do whatever they can to own those paintings. Also a young Austrian journalist Hubertus Czernin (Daniel Brühl) comes to their help, and provides them all the assistance needed during their stay in Austria.
The film is something which defines how art can influence the society and bind it. A must watch...
