Tobacconist, The
horizontal line

[Subtitled] [Opens July 10 in Virtual Cinema sponsored by MSP Film Society; for more information, log on to mspfilm.org.] Striking cinematography and period sets dominate this engaging, poignant, well-acted, gut-wrenching, coming-of-age, heartbreaking, tension-filled, 117-minute, 2018 film based on Robert Seethaler's bestselling novel in which a seventeen-year-old teenager (Simon Morzé) leaves his widowed mother (Regina Fritsch) in the scenic countryside and travels to Vienna to work as an apprentice for a one-legged, tobacco shop owner (Johannes Krisch), falls hopelessly in love with a feisty Czech music-hall dancer (Emma Drogunova), and becomes unlikely friends with controversial, world-renown, cigar-loving psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud (Bruno Ganz) in late 1930s Nazi-occupied Austria who tries to give him advice about love, relationships, and purpose in life.
