Happy New 2020, Friends:
In the new film "A Hidden Life" (2019, Director: Terrence Malik), a
large wall sundial appears in the backdrop of a scene at about 100 minutes into
the film. My question is: can anyone identify where this scene was shot?
The film is not a standard feature film and not for everyone’s taste —
3 hours long, slow-paced, beautiful cinematography of the Austrian Alps,
raising many moral conundrums, simultaneously joyful and heart-wrenching. It
tells the story of the Austrian peasant farmer Franz Jägerstätter (read about
him and the film on Wikipedia), who refused to sign a loyalty oath to Hitler,
which eventually led to his execution in 1943.
The scene with the sundial takes place at a military base in Enns
(Austria) but of course it could have been shot somewhere else. I suspect that
one of our Austrian diallists may recognize the dial. Let us know!
Cheers, Woody Sullivan
