Lena Dunham on Her ‘Incredibly Resonant’ Holocaust Drama ‘Treasure’ and Recent ‘Girls’ Renaissance: ‘Not Something I Expected’


Lena Dunham discusses her new film 'Treasure,' which premieres at Berlin Film Festival on Saturday night, and all the recent love for 'Girls.'

“Treasure,” based on the 1999 novel “Too Many Men” by Lily Brett, follows Ruth (Dunham), a journalist who travels to Poland with her Holocaust survivor father (Stephen Fry) to confront their family’s tragic past. Our first day together was at the largest Jewish cemetery in the world in Poland, which holds the graves of many non-survivors and survivor’s family members. Did you see the clip of Marnie (Allison Williams) singing “Fast Car” in the final season resurfacing after Tracy Chapman’s Grammys performance?
