NEVER LOOK AWAY the third feature of  Oscar® winning director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (The Lives Of Others) marks the director’s bold return to German language filmmaking with two nominations at this year’s Academy Awards® for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Cinematography. The film stars Tom Schilling (Oh Boy), Sebastian Koch (Bridge of Spies, The Danish Girl), Paula Beer (Frantz), Saskia Rosendahl (Lore) and Oliver Masucci (Netflix’s Dark). Following its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival where the film received the Leoncino d’Oro Agiscuola Award, Modern Films will release NEVER LOOK AWAY this summer.

Inspired by real events and spanning three eras of German history, NEVER LOOK AWAY tells the story of a young art student, Kurt (Tom Schilling) who falls in love with fellow student, Ellie (Paula Beer). Ellie’s father, Professor Seeband (Sebastian Koch), a famous doctor, is dismayed at his daughter’s choice of boyfriend, and vows to destroy the relationship. What neither of them knows is that their lives are already connected through a terrible crime Seeband committed years before…

Modern Films will release NEVER LOOK AWAY in the UK and Ireland on 5 July 2019.
