The Director: A Novel by Daniel Kehlmann, 2025

A visionary tale inspired by the life of film director G.W. Pabst, who fled to Hollywood to resist the Nazis only to be forced to return to his homeland and create propaganda films for the German Reich.
An artist's life, a pact with the devil, and the dangerous illusions of the silver screen.

Just reading it (in German: it's called "Lichtspiel" here) and definitely can recommend it, too.
