About Effigy: Poison and the City
1828 in the German port city of Bremen: Two very different women collide in an age that has no place for either of them. One strives for a career in law, at a time when women aren't even admitted to universities. The other has lived life outside the law and may now have to pay the tab. One of them needs to get her head together – while the other would do anything not to lose hers. -- Based on a true story.
Directed by Udo Flohr, Effigy: Poison and the City leans on a strong ensemble — Suzan Anbeh, Elisa Thiemann, Christoph Gottschalch — 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 thriller titles of 2020.
