A Hidden Life

A Hidden Life is a 2019 epic historical drama film released by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures under the Fox Searchlight Pictures label, written and directed by Terrence Malick. It stars August Diehl, Valerie Pachner, and Matthias Schoenaerts with Michael Nyqvist in his final performance. The film depicts the life of Franz Jägerstätter, an Austrian farmer and devout Catholic who refused to fight for the Nazis in World War II. The title is taken from George Eliot's Middlemarch: "... for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs."
Eliot in turn derived it from a phrase in the New Testament, the Epistle to the Colossians 3:3: "For you died, and [now] your life is hidden with Christ in God."
A Hidden Life was released on DVD and Blu-Ray on March 17, 2020 by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. It was the final feature film to be released under the Fox Searchlight Pictures name before Walt Disney Studios changed the company's name to Searchlight Pictures on January 17, 2020.
