Rosa Luxemburg - 2004-05-12. Director: Margareth von Trotta. Germany, 1985, color, 122 minutes. This film is an ambitious portrait featuring a brilliant performance by Barbara Sukowa as the legendary leader of the German left movement in the early 20th century. Rosa Luxemburg, a hero of European radicalism, was a complex figure who has been the subject of various books to this day. In this film, with remarkable background setting and attention to precise details, the viewer watches Luxemburg's political struggles and is somewhat captivated by her love affairs, long imprisonments, and ultimately her brutal murder by elements that later formed the initial core of the Nazi movement. I recommend this film to former revolutionaries and unbiased enthusiasts of the political history of the left movement.
