About Eine blassblaue Frauenschrift
In October 1936, a high official in the Austrian government receives a letter from a German Jewish woman with whom he had an affair in 1925 asking him to help place an 11-year-old, half Jewish boy in a good Austrian school. Is the child his? Should he help? And above all should he help now, at a time when Nazis are becoming powerful in Austria?
Directed by Axel Corti, Eine blassblaue Frauenschrift leans on a strong ensemble — Friedrich von Thun, Krystyna Janda, Friederike Kammer — 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 drama titles of 1984.
