Rosa Luxemburg

Director
Margarethe von Trotta
Certificate
PG
Running Time
123 mins

Margarethe von Trotta attracted some criticism for bringing a modern feminist angle to the story of Polish-born Jewish revolutinary Rosa Luxemburg (played by her muse Barbara Sukowa), though this 1986 biopic is drawn primarily from her subject’s letters and speeches.

It’s back on screen to conclude the Watershed’s The Personal is Political: The Films of Margarethe von Trotta season.
