PG Kino presents the 5th film in its Fall 2009 Series New German Cinema:
Die Patriotin (The Patriot)
Director: Alexander Kluge (1979)
118 min. In German with English Subtitles

“The story of Gabi Teichert (Hannelore Hoger) who had already begun to dig around in search of the roots of German history in [the 1978 film collage] “Germany in Autumn.” “If something can kill me, I want to know what it is.” The Fatherland of the history teacher is education. In daily school life, at the party convention of the Social Democrats (SPD), on the Day of Penance and during Advent: she remains stalwart on her quest for a republic, for which the trouble is worth it.”
