本片出自德国新浪潮电影代表人物之一，《铁皮鼓》导演沃尔克·施隆多夫之手，是一部向法国著名导演让·梅尔维尔致敬的经典作品。影片描写第一次世界大战期间，高贵的索菲女伯爵爱上了一位普通士兵，但动荡的时代，因为这段恋情却给两人带来了可怕的灾难，影片悲伤而凄凉，是导演沃尔克·施隆多夫除《铁皮鼓》以外，最被人认同的大师作品……

　　奥地利诗人英格褒·巴赫曼与瑞士文豪马克斯·弗里施坠入爱河而又分手，为情所伤的她开启了前往沙漠的避世之旅。本片通过对巴赫曼与弗里施、德国作曲家汉斯·亨策、奥地利剧作家阿道夫·欧佩尔之间故事的交叉叙述，刻画了这位诗人从“为情所伤”到“追求意志独立”的女性自我觉醒过程。曾以《德国姐妹》拿下威尼斯电影节金狮奖的导演玛加蕾特·冯·特罗塔再次凭借其对女性人物细致入微的体察，展现了巴赫曼在公共光环背后更为真实多元的形象。入围2023年柏林电影节主竞赛单元。

剧情梗概：根据上世纪初一位激进犹太政治领袖的书信和演说改编，讲述了罗莎·卢森堡（国际共产主义运动著名政治活动家和理论家，德国社会民主党和第二国际左派领袖）参与德国社会民主党的风风雨雨，直至1919年遭到暗杀。“红色罗莎”个性非常张扬，九次被监禁，但斗志永不消沉（直到一战后）。

　　Volker Schlöndorff transposes Bertolt Brecht’s late-expressionist work to latter-day 1969. Poet and anarchist Baal lives in an attic and reads his poems to cab drivers. At first feted and later rejected by bourgeois society, Baal roams through forests and along motorways, greedy for schnapps, cigarettes, women and men: ‘You have to let out the beast, let him out into the sunlight.’ After impregnating a young actress he soon comes to regard her as a millstone round his neck. He stabs a friend to death and dies alone. ‘You are useless, mangy and wild, you beast, you crawl through the lowest boughs of the tree.’　　The film takes youthful impetuousness and hatred of oppression as its subject and also ponders the cult of genius and sexual morals. Rainer Werner Fassbinder simultaneously plays both Baal and himself and is surrounded by many actors who were later to perform in his own films. After the film was broadcast on West German television, Brecht’s widow Helene Weigel prohibited any further screenings, arguing that the social circumstances engendering Baal’s rebelliousness had not been adequately explained.
