Overview
- The film reaches German cinemas on October 23 after a October 16 premiere, with an Austria premiere in Vienna scheduled for tonight.
- The drama centers on Springsteen’s 1982 home recordings for ‘Nebraska,’ framing his retreat as a fight for artistic autonomy and a response to personal struggles.
- White performs Springsteen’s songs himself on camera, and he has said he briefly lost his voice after an intense “Born in the U.S.A.” take reported by People magazine.
- Springsteen granted the project his approval, visited the set, offered insights and performance tips, yet left director Scott Cooper broad creative freedom.
- Adapted from Warren Zanes’ book, the film features Jeremy Strong, Paul Walter Hauser, Stephen Graham, Odessa Young and Gaby Hoffmann in key supporting roles.
