Margarethe
von Trotta ranks among the most important female directors in German
cinema since the 1970s, during which time she also made a name for
herself as an actress. Today, primarily active as a director and screenwriter,
her most well-known films include: Die verlorene Ehre der Katharina
Blum (The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum,1975, in co-direction with
Volker Schlöndorff), Die Bleierne Zeit (Marianne and Juliane,
1981), Rosa Luxemburg (1985), Das Versprechen (The Promise, 1994),
and Rosenstraße (The Women of Rosenstrasse, 2003), among others.
Von Trotta gained national and international recognition, being nominated
for and awarded with several film prizes like the German Film Award,
the Golden Berlin Bear (Berlin International Film Festival), the Golden
Lion (Venice Film Festival) and the Golden Palm (Cannes Film Festival).
Her films feature strong female protagonists and are usually set against
an important political background. Themes in her work include the
effect of the political on the personal, and vice versa, as well as
the relationships between female characters, often sisters. Von Trotta's
formal and nuanced cinema observes the interior development of activists
under social and political stress, and illuminates the way in which
individual behavior can change a community.
