About The Nightmare Woman
A Berlin woman in her early thirties is trying to handle her psychological problems and childhood trauma with the help of her psychiatrist. She is ashamed and overwhelmed by her masochistic sex fantasies.
Directed by Lothar Lambert, The Nightmare Woman leans on a strong ensemble — Ulrike Schirm, Dagmar Beiersdorf, Robert Cutts — 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 screen titles of 1981.
