Movie Reviews of The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum - Criterion Collection

Movie Review: The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum
Summary: 5 Stars

Tense, taut suspenser presents an object lesson on the nature of presumed guilt, and the corrosive power of the media, working with a police force desperate for "results', to virtually destroy the life of an innocent person. Directors Schlondorff and Von Trotta unfold this waking nightmare with a tense realism that's unnerving. Winkler makes a most sympathetic victim, while the craggy, enigmatic Prochnow is tailor-made for his shadowy part. In all, a disturbing and thought-provoking entry, expertly rendered.

Summary of The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum - Criterion Collection

When katharina blum spends the night with an alleged terrorist her quiet ordered life falls into ruins. Suddenly a suspect katharina is subject to a vicious smear campaign by the police & a ruthless tabloid journalist testing the limits of her dignity & her sanity. Studio: Image Entertainment Release Date: 02/25/2003 Starring: Angela Winkler Jurgen Prochnow Run time: 106 minutes

A striking examination of the power of the police and excesses of the media, The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum grows more pertinent every day. When the police burst into Katharina Blum's apartment, they fail to find the suspected terrorist they've been tracking and arrest Blum for harboring a fugitive. Immediately she becomes a media sensation; between the ruthless interrogation of the police, the even more invasive muckraking of a notorious tabloid, and harassment from the sensation-hungry public, Blum's ordinary life is turned inside out until she has to lash out to defend her own sanity. A German film made in 1975, The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum could have been made today in the U.S. Angela Winkler gives a compelling performance as Katharina, but the entire movie is superbly realized: suspenseful, compassionate, and shot through with dark humor. --Bret Fetzer
