MUBI releases a second official trailer for Paweł Pawlikowski’s Cold War drama “Fatherland,” starring Sandra Hüller and Hanns Zischler. The new trailer spotlights the film’s tense tone and continues the marketing push following its early recognition at Cannes. ComingSoon.net describes the update as an intense new look at the project.

According to the outlets, “Fatherland” is set during the height of the Cold War and follows writer Thomas Mann and his daughter Erika as they travel by black Buick cruiser across a Germany left in ruins. The journey runs from U.S.-dominated Frankfurt to Soviet-controlled Weimar, with the film exploring themes including identity, family, love, and guilt in post-war Europe. FirstShowing.net adds that the film premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival and won Best Director in a tie, while also noting that Hüller and Zischler portray father and daughter.

Across coverage, the focus stays on the trailer release and the film’s pedigree, while the differing emphasis is on the trailer’s intensity (ComingSoon.net) versus plot detail and release-route expectations (FirstShowing.net). The outlets also both tie the project to Pawlikowski’s established style following “Ida” and “Cold War.”
