Marianne and Juliane

The relationship of two sisters mirrors the political turmoil of Germany in the 1970's. Growing up in the leaden times of the 1950's, the sisters turn to radicalism. Juliane works within the system as the editor of a left-wing feminist journal. Marianne becomes a notorious terrorist based on an actual member of the Baader-Meinhof group. Juliane's resistance to, compassion for, and eventual obsession with her doomed sibling forms the center of the film. (Circulates)
