When Katharina (german actress Angela Winkler) unknowingly shacks up with a terrorist Ludvig (Jürgen Prochnow), her whole life goes under the microscope. and she finds out quickly who her friends are and which ones are not. and how the police and the press will make things up as it suits their purpose. and the same is mostly still true today... but one difference is that at the time, women weren't allowed to have a one night stand without other (neighbors, police, press) thinking badly of them.. only the men were allowed to have promiscuous sex purely for enjoyment. directed by Volker Schlöndorff and Margarethe von Trotta, who HAPPENED to be married at the time. novel by Heinrich Böll. it's a german made film, but this was already 1975....in the middle of the cold war. it's a bit dark. not bad.
