(Die Unberührbare)

Screening on Film

Directed by Oskar Röhler.
With Hannelore Elsner, Vadim Glowna, Jasmin Tabatabai.
Germany, 2000, 16mm, black & white, 100 min.

On the eve of reunification, a middle-aged German writer (Elsner) despairs at the decline of her once promising career. She decides to forgo the decadent lifestyle to which she has become accustomed and turns over a new leaf. Echoing themes from Fassbinder and Von Trotta, director Röhler provides an intelligent portrait of the modern woman, aided in no small part by an outstanding performance from Elsner.
