About Götz von Berlichingen mit der eisernen Hand
During the time of the Peasants' Wars, the free knight Götz von Berlichingen gets into all kinds of private and political entanglements when he defends the Bishop of Bamberg. He is declared an enemy of the empire and ostracized as a robber. Insurgent peasants, of whom he becomes the leader, also betray him by attacking a town against the condition that no violence be used.
Directed by Wolfgang Liebeneiner, Götz von Berlichingen mit der eisernen Hand leans on a strong ensemble — Raimund Harmstorf, Michèle Mercier, Klausjürgen Wussow — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about history titles of 1979.
