Key quotes
· 3 pulledPawel Pawlikowski's seventh feature 'Fatherland' came into the Cannes Competition with high expectations, and judging from audience and critical reaction, it should win a prize or two.
Sandra Hüller is a frontrunner for Best Actress, having just won that award in Berlin for 'Rose.'
Given that 'Fatherland' also parses European history through complicated characters, and is filmed in black-and-white in the Academy ratio, Pawlikowski grants that he has unintentionally fashioned a trilogy.
