The film tells the story of two pastor\u2019s daughters who strive for a better world in vastly different ways: Juliane fights for women\u2019s rights as the editor of a feminist magazine, while Marianne thinks thoughts don\u2019t make a difference \u2013 she chooses violence and terrorism. The fictional film draws upon the restless German Autumn of 1977 and the real-life sisters Christiane and Gudrun Ensslin, of whom the latter belonged to the Baader-Meinhof terrorist group.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to von Trotta, the film\u2019s original title <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Die bleierne Zeit <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">refers to the emotional atmosphere of the 1950\u2019s. Marianne and Juliane, like the director herself, grew up \u201dunder the leaden lid of silence\u201d: war and the past were unspoken topics. The turning point for the siblings is a holocaust documentary seen as teenagers that reveals what their parents\u2019 generation took part in. Future generations have to pay for the sins of the past. Also entering the picture is Marianne\u2019s son Jan, who hates his mother despite having no recollection of her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A theme that has come up in several of von Trotta\u2019s films is siblinghood, a strong bond regardless of personal and political differences. Here she also draws attention to the question of motherhood and a woman\u2019s right to choose whether she wants to be a mother or not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Kaisu Isto<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Von Trotta\u2019s powerful political drama brought her into the international public consciousness and solidified her position as a key director in the New German Cinema movement.","protected":false},"featured_media":28604,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-28607","movies","type-movies","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","filters-margarethe-von-trotta-en","filters-puhuttu-tai-tekstitetty-suomeksi-en","filters-special-guests-films","filters-tekstitetty-ruotsiksi-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Marianne and Juliane &#8212;
