"Woman in Gold"--A Glimmer of Retribution

Rating: 9/10 (6 September 2015)

The movie "Woman In Gold" is based on the remarkable story of the octogenarian Austrian- American woman, Maria Altmann (played by the always sensational Helen Mirren). Maria fights to reclaim the Gustav Klimt masterpiece of her aunt Adele Bloch-Bauer, a wealthy art collector of Klimt paintings. "Portrait of the Jewess Adele". More popularly known as "The Woman in Gold", this masterpiece was the Austrian equivalent of the "Mona Lisa".
"Woman in Gold" is appealing on several levels: as history, narrative, and as emotional gratification that retribution does happen sometimes. Maria's story is also a poignant one, of memory, family ties, and growing old. Highly recommended for a broad audience!Read the complete review at: www.unhealedwound.com
