Item Description

A beautiful, painfully moving account of writer-director Helma Sanders-Brahms'childhood, made to show her own daughter a Germany beyond Hitler and theHolocaust. Deutschland Bleiche Mutter traces the history of Germany from an extremely personal and distinctly feminist point of view. The film begins on the eve of the German invasion of Poland, as a newly-married young woman (Eva Mattes) sees her husband (Ernst Jacobi) sent off to the Eastern front. She and her daughter (Elisabeth Stepanek) struggle for survival throughout the war, only to face a husband who, when he returns, wreaks emotional havoc on the family. Sanders-Brahms records life experiences which are gender-specific and typically absent from the male version of history" (Anton Kaes The Oxford History of World Cinema.
