演员 导演 编剧 美术 副导演
Margarethe von Trotta was born in Berlin in 1942. In the 1960s she
moved to Paris where she worked for film collectives, collaborating on
scripts and co-directing short films. She also pursued an acclaimed
acting career, starring in films by well known German directors such as
Rainer Werner Fassbinder, and
Volker Schlöndorff. In 1971, von
Trotta divorced her first husband Juergen Moeller (with whom she had a
child) and married Schlöndorff. She co-wrote many of the scripts for
his films, and in 1975 the two of them co-directed
Die verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum (1975).
In 1977, von Trotta directed her first solo feature
Das zweite Erwachen der Christa Klages (1978). With her third film,
Die bleierne Zeit (1981), von
Trotta's position as New German Cinema's most prominent and successful
female filmmaker was fully secured.
Her films feature strong female protagonists, and are usually set against an important political background. Themes in her work include the effect of the political on the personal, and vice versa, as well as the relationships between female characters, often sisters.
