We just watched this BBC movie, which tells the true story of the famous Klimt painting of an Austrian Jewish woman, its theft by the Nazis, and her niece’s effort to recover and repatriate it after the war. She was represented in court in her efforts by the grandson of another famous Austrian Jew, composer Arnold Schönberg, who quit his lucrative job with a Los Angeles law firm to take up her case.

I will not try to summarize the film, but will let this review do it for me:
The film is touching, uplifting, dramatic, and emotive. Helen Mirren gives a flawless performance as an octogenarian Jewish refugee who has created a new life for herself in America after fleeing Nazi persecution in Vienna. Ultimately, the film is about the triumph of justice and the righting of a historic wrong. To see an old woman sue the Govt. of Austria in the U.S. Supreme Court is in itself reason enough to watch the film. What the film teaches us about history, bureaucracy, treachery, cruelty, and the indomitable nature of the human spirit is added incentive to appreciate this film.
