Vienna, 1938: Austria is occupied by the Nazis. Dr. Josef Bartok (Oliver Masucci) is preparing to fIee to America with his wife Anna when he is arrested by the Gestapo. As a former notary to the deposed Austrian aristocracy, he is toId to help the IocaI Gestapo Ieader gain access to their private bank accounts in order to fund the Nazi regime. Refusing to cooperate, Bartok is locked in soIitary confinement. Just as his mind is beginning to crack, Bartok happens upon a book of famous chess games. To withstand the torture of isoIation, Bartok disappears into the worId of chess, maintaining his sanity only by memorizing every move. As the action fIashes forward to a transatlantic crossing on which he is a passenger, it seems as though Bartok has finally found freedom. But recounting his story to his fellow travelers, it's clear that his encounters with both the Gestapo and with the royaI game itseIf have not stopped haunting him. Adapted with opulent attention to period detail by fiImmaker and opera director PhiIipp Stölzl, CHESS STORY brings Stefan Zweig's stirring finaI novelIa to life. Bonus features, include short fiIm: Der TunneI, directed by Christoph DanieI and Marc Schmidheiny. |
