26 February 2012 /
Vienna, 1913. It is a fine day in August when Lysander Rief, a young English actor, walks through the city to his first appointment with the eminent psychiatrist Dr. Bensimon. Moving from Vienna to London’s West End, from the battlefields of France to hotel rooms in Geneva, “Waiting for Sunrise” is a mesmerizing journey into the human psyche, a beautifully observed portrait of wartime Europe.
