Today marks 80 years since VE Day, the end of World War II in Europe, and yet Daniel Kehlmann's THE DIRECTOR feels as urgent as ever. Inspired by the life of legendary filmmaker G.W. Pabst, who fled Nazi Germany for Hollywood only to be drawn back to make propaganda films for the German Reich, THE DIRECTOR explores the moral and personal cost of creating under tyranny. “The important thing is to take a stand early, because you won’t be able to do it down the road.” —Daniel Kehlmann on @Morning_Joe
