Mrs. Klein

About Austrian-British psychoanalyst Melanie Klein, whose pioneering achievements mainly in the field of child psychology (The Psychoanalysis of the Child) and object relations theory. The action takes place in London in 1934, which sees twenty-five-year-old Melanie Klein mourning the death of her son Hans, who came to life in a mining accident. Your daughter Melitta interprets the incident as suicide and your mother as a culprit.

Directed by Ingemo Engström, Mrs. Klein leans on a strong ensemble — Erika Pluhar, Sibylle Canonica, 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 1995.
