Cast and Synopsis Revealed for Terrence Malick’s RADEGUND

Shooting recently wrapped on Terrence Malick’s Radegund, and more information on the World War II film has been released. The movie is about Austrian Franz Jägerstätter (August Diehl, Inglourious Basterds), a conscientious objector to the Nazis. It has been announced that the cast also includes Valerie Pachner, Matthias Shoenaerts, Bruno Ganz, Martin Wuttke, Maria Simon, Karin Neuhäuser, and Alexander Fehling.

There’s also a new synopsis, which you can read below. Radegund will be looking for distribution at Berlinale next month and is likely to be released in 2018.

Opening at Jägerstätter’s home in the idyllic Austrian countryside, the film follows Franz and his wife Fani along their path of resistance. Told through real wartime letters, this love story finds the couple in conflict with the members of their close-knit town, the church, their government, and even their friends — all of which brings them to a dramatic choice.
