When the police arrest Katharin Blum on suspicion of harboring a terrorist, her quiet life falls into ruins. Katharina is subject to a vicious smear campaign by the police and a ruthless tabloid journalist, testing the limits of her dignity and her sanity. Volker Schlöndorff and Margarethe von Trotta's powerful adaptation of Heinrich Böll's novel is a stinging commentary on state power, individual freedom, and media manipulation - as relevant today as on the day of its release in 1975.
Cast: Angela Winkler, Mario Adorf, Dieter Laser, Heinz Bennent, Jürgen Prochnow, Hannelore Hoger, Rolf Becker. Directors Volker Schlöndorff and Margarethe von Trotta.
In German with optional English subtitles.
