520 | _aFrom case cover: From Volker Schlöndorff, the acclaimed director of The Tin Drum, The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum, and Circle of Deceit, comes The Legend of Rita, a striking political thriller set in the later years of the Cold War. Anchored by a stunning lead performance by newcomer Bibíana Beglau, in the title role, the film recounts the struggles of a young West German woman as she flees from the consequences of her radical past. Rita starts her journey as a member of a bank-robbing, terrorist group, loosely based on the real Baader-Meinhof gang, who sparred with the West German police throughout the seventies. After a series of complication, these anti-capitalist revolutionaries are forced to disband, but Rita decides to take refuge in East Germany under a false identity - the "legend" of the title. As "Susanne Schmidt," a worker at a fabric dyeing plant, this former socialist activist begins to encounter some of the drab and discontented reality of a Communist state. With remarkable dexterity, The Legend of Rita deftly captures the conflicts at the heart of a socialist system, even as Rita becomes personally involved with an alcoholic factory worker (Nadja Uhl) and then a young physics student (Alexander Beyer). As the years pass and Rita is forced into other identities, the film becomes a vivid portrait of how growing sense of alienation, although her devotion to the distant ideal of socialism never changes. | ||
