The veteran filmmaker, who has carved out a unique place in cinema history, brings her 'Ingeborg Bachmann — Journey in the Desert' to the Berlin Film Festival competition.
The 1981 drama, which won von Trotta the Golden Lion in Venice, follows two German sisters who both fight for women’s rights but take very different paths. Juliane becomes a journalist. Marianne , a terrorist. Inspired by real-life siblings Gudrun and Christiane Ensslin.
This was my first film with Barbara Sukowa— we’ve since done seven films together. She surprised me with the absolute fearlessness with which she approached the role [of terrorist Marianne].A barn-storming portrait of the Polish German socialist revolutionary who co-founded the anti-war Spartacus League, which eventually became the German Communist Party, and who, in 1919, was assassinated by government-sponsored paramilitaries, many of whom would later join Hitler’s Nazi shocktroops.
Hildegard von Bingen was for me an early feminist of the Middle Ages. She believed she received her orders from God, [but] in reality they were her own desires for self-realization. Barbara Sukowa again! She was never only acting as this saintly woman, wonderful musician and visionary. She was “being.”won best actress in Venice for her performance in this based-on-a-true-story drama about German women who stood up to the Nazis. And won.
