The film was subsequently selected for the world's major film festivals such as Toronto, Zurich, and Busan.
The young artist Kurt, who fled to West Germany, was still tormented by the shadows and traumas of the Nazi era and the East German regime. But he meets schoolgirl Allie and he believes he has met the love of his life. But Ellie's father is firmly opposed to the relationship between the two. So he began to paint, which reflected not only his own destiny, but also the trauma of an entire era.
What is an "unauthorized work"? As the protagonist Kurt explained to his paintings: "I don't express opinions, I just present." Hiding authorship, deconstructing stance, and naturally presenting a certain essence of the world are the ultimate goals of modern art. Just like the end of the film, when the famous Kurt explained to the media the portraits of the characters in the works that were closely related to the pain of the times, he denied his relationship with those people and said lightly that he did not know them. Many viewers who are waiting for the judgment of "evil" and looking forward to the emotional climax must be confused when they see this - what is this film trying to say? The father-in-law, a former Nazi leader, escaped, and the protagonist didn't know the truth. This was tolerated for the time being, but the relatives in the male protagonist's paintings were clearly brutally brutalized by the Nazis, so why did he say he didn't know him? Not to mention the Germans, all those who are used to mainstream WWII-themed films will inevitably want to scold their mothers. What you are shooting is obviously a historical theme, and you have no standpoint, so what's the matter. Is this an escape from history and reality? maybe……
"No Master's Work" is not without attitude. To put it bluntly, the director just doesn't want to use a certain ideology or government force to shoot any bad guy, but wants to use the hand of God to judge sin with art, such an unconscious pure art , is what Aunt Kurt calls "absolute truth" and "pure beauty" at the opening of the movie, and it can light up the darkness!
