Criterion Collection - Lost Honor Of Katharina Blum/dvd - DVD

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 and a ruthless tabloid journalist, testing the limits of her dignity and her sanity. Volker Schlondorff and Margarethe von Trotta's powerful adaptation of Heinrich Boll's novel is a stinging commentary on state power, individual freedom, and media manipulation-as relevant today as on the day of it's release in 1975. DVD includes: Documentary on Author Heinrich Boll; Video Interviews with Director of Photography Jost Vacano, Director Volker Schlondorff and Co-Writer Margarethe von Trotta; Trailer (1975) Running time: 106 minutes.
