The screening of Die verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum (The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum) has been rescheduled for Wednesday April 2, 2008 at 7:30pm in Hollis E. Cornell Auditorium.
Die verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum will be introduced by German Studies graduate student David Low, who is currently writing his Masters thesis on the work of Heinrich Böll, the author of the novel from which the film was adapted.
The Criterion Collection provides this synopsis of the film:
When Katharina Blum spends the night with an alleged terrorist, her quiet, ordered life falls into ruins. Suddenly a suspect, Katharina is subject to a vicious smear campaign by the police and a ruthless tabloid journalist, testing the limits of her dignity and her sanity. Volker Schlöndorff and Margarethe von Trotta’s powerful adaptation of Heinrich Böll’s novel is a stinging commentary on state power, individual freedom, and media manipulation––as relevant today as on the day of its release in 1975.
Thank you for bearing with us through this schedule change. We hope to see you at the screening of this powerful and important film.

Normal screening schedule (on Tuesdays) will resume on April 15 with Das Schloß.
