| The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum |
Katharina Blum is accused of being a terrorist collaborator after what appears to be a one-night-stand with a wanted man.
Seemingly innocent, she stands her ground; this integrity proves her downfall as police and journalists conspire to break her, turning her into an unwilling celebrity.
Increasingly relevant, this powerful adaptation by Schlöndorff and von Trotter (whose films together and separately are integral to the New German Cinema movement) was based on a novel sparked by an incident during the height of Baader-Meinhof activities, written by Nobel Prize-winning author Heinrich Böll.
