About A Licensed Liberty
Karl has a childlike innocence and naive purity. In spite of making false friends and enemies, he retains his decency in New York which remains a foreign city for him.
Directed by Michael Kreihsl, A Licensed Liberty leans on a strong ensemble — Ulrich Reinthaller, Elżbieta Czyżewska, Jessica Sager — 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 1990.
