Stephen Fry on Playing Lena Dunham’s Holocaust Survivor Father in ‘Treasure’ and Filming at Auschwitz: ‘Nothing Can Quite Prepare You for That Experience’


'Treasure' stars Stephen Fry as a Polish Holocaust survivor who goes on a road trip with his daughter, played by Lena Dunham.

Stephen Fry has been described as a “quintessential Englishman” and, thanks to his Cambridge University degree and roles in films such as “Gosford Park” and “Wilde,” he’s got a resumé to prove it. Premiering at the Berlin Film Festival this month, “Treasure” sees Fry star opposite Lena Dunham(who also executive produced the project) as a father-daughter duo who return to Poland to confront their family’s tragic past. He first fell in love with Oscar Wilde when he caught Anthony Asquith’s 1952 film adaptation of “The Importance of Being Earnest” on TV as a young boy.
