Full Plot Details

In 1936, Stefan Zweig, the illustrious author of " 24 Hours of a Woman's Life" and "Letter from an Unknown Woman", leaves Austria for South America. Being Jewish and hating the inhumanity that prevails in Germany while threatening his native country, he has decided to escape the specter of Nazism. Brazil is his chosen country. He is immediately hailed at Rio de Janeiro's Jockey Club by the local jet set. But whereas expect him to take sides and to make a statement against Hitler and his clique, Zweig refuses to renounce his humanity and to indulge in over-simplification: he just cannot condemn Germany and its people.

Accompanied by Lotte, his second wife he explores different regions, including the most remote ones...

Movie Reviews

AwardsCircuit.com - 8/10 by Shane SlaterUltimately, Stefan Zweig: Farewell to Europe is less a character study than an evocation of a pervading state of mind. And in that sense, the film has unexpected contemporary relevance.
New York Observer - 8/10 by Thelma AdamsThis slender yet dense biopic deserves praise for how it reanimates the author, not what it inevitably leaves out; it's so difficult to capture and condense the past in all its flickering iridescence as Zweig once did.
Clarín - 8/10 by Pablo A. ScholzZweig and his last wife made a drastic decision, which we will not reveal... but which [this] film by the German actress Maria Schrader definitely makes a note of. [Full review in Spanish]
El Pais (Spain) - 7/10 by Carlos BoyeroA forced and painful vagrancy by America of the Austrian writer that the German director Maria Schrader has dared to narrate. [Full review in Spanish]
Film Journal International - 7/10 by David NohMaria Schrader's boldly understated look at a great, forgotten 20th-century writer is one impressive achievement, all the more admirable for its understated subtlety.
Spirituality and Practice - 7/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatThis sober-minded and philosophical film revolves around the closing years in the life of Jewish-Austrian writer Stefan Zweig.
La Nación (Argentina) - 7/10 by Paula Vázquez PrietoThe film could be thought of as an elegy in the form of letters sent from the cities that housed [Stefan Zweig] in America, from Buenos Aires to New York, until his final retreat in Brazil. [Full review in Spanish]
New York Times - 6/10 by Glenn KennyOne need not admire Zweig’s writing to recognize the worth of this thoughtful treatment of one of the countless real-life tragedies of 20th-century history.
Mark Leeper's Reviews - 6/10 by Mark R. LeeperWhat is most lamentably missing is a feel for the great writer's writing style.
Paste Magazine - 6/10 by Kenji FujishimaThe film may not be a hagiography, necessarily, but it similarly turns its central figure into a wax figure, albeit one of deep sadness. Perhaps, though, Zweig fans will get more out of Schrader's film than neophytes.
