The Nasty Girl
Das schreckliche Mädchen
1990
Synopsis
High-achieving student Sonja decides to write an essay on her small town’s history, and how it resisted the Third Reich. But when she instead uncovers to what extent the townspeople collaborated with the Nazis, her search for the truth—however principled it is—is confronted with violent opposition.
Editorial
Silver Bear–awarded and Oscar®-nominated, Michael Verhoeven’s obstreperous film adds an exclamation point to the imperative to remember history, unheroic chapters and all. Amid darkly funny theatrical compositions, Lena Stolze gives a breathless performance as the little girl-detective who dared.
