This unconventional German film is set in battle-torn Berlin in the final months of World War II, as a Jewish lesbian woman falls in love with the wife of a Nazi officer. Schrader and Kohler turn in fine performances in the title roles. The relationship between the two women, which is the whole focus of this movie, is not fully developed. It is not clear what the attraction is between them and why the relationship runs hot and cold. The story is told in flashbacks and the makeup artist deserves kudos for the convincing job of aging Schrader and Wokalek. The period sets are impressive and there's a lovely score but it goes on a bit too long.
