Review of Katharina Luther

Although this is a TV movie, I think the movie tends to be underrated by critics. Through the perspective of Katharina Luther and the story setting, the viewer can discover completely new facets of this time. As the focus is on Katharina, this also gives a new perspective on Martin Luther. There is always a danger with a hero of faith like Luther that you only see the highs. The consequences for Katharina of marrying Martin Luther are shown very well. The inner struggles and challenges in such a marriage are also shown in a true-to-life way. This brings us closer to Katharina, but also to Martin Luther. We can get a better idea of the challenges and fears they and society were exposed to.
