THE STORY FOLLOWS
Mark Ruffalo's Daniel LeBlanc, who flees Nazi occupied
Paris with his blind daughter Marie-Laure in tow. They hide out with an
eccentric uncle played by Hugh Laurie, and Marie-Laure (Aria Mia
Loberti) grows up to become an underground radio broadcaster, using her
words to fight the incoming Nazi empire. Her words capture the attention
of German teenager Werner (Louis Hofmann), who shares
Marie-Laure’s hope for a brighter future. His knowledge of radio
frequencies gets him enlisted by Hitler’s regime to track down illegal
broadcasts. Through Marie-Laure’s secret radio broadcasts, Werner holds
onto hope as a means of survival during World War II. Lars Eidinger
plays Reinhold von Rumpel, ruthless Nazi leader who is after
Marie-Laure and her father, and he won’t stop until he gets his hands on
a prized jewel that she is hiding.
The book never captured my interest and I passed it up many times at the library. The film though, I’d love to see. I hope Ruffalo has a small role though because I cannot stand him.
ReplyDeleteI cannot stand him either for some reason, but I adore Hofmann
