About Behind Monastery Walls
Thomas Holinka has returned home from war and captivity. In the absence of a suitable home, he finds himself in what seems to be an abandoned monastery. When the nuns return, a conflict is inevitable because Holinka is addicted to alcohol and gambling .
Directed by Harald Reinl, Behind Monastery Walls leans on a strong ensemble — Olga Tschechowa, Philip Dorn, Katharina Mayberg — 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 1952.
