Product Description
YESTERDAY GIRL, the stunning feature debut by Alexander Kluge, launched the movement know as the New German Cinema after the film s triumph at the Venice International Film Festival when the press hailed it as the rebirth of German film.
At the heart of YESTERDAY GIRL is the performance of Alexandra Kluge, the director s sister, who stars as a young East German woman named Anita G. Carrying all of her belongings in a flimsy suitcase, Anita passes through the Berlin Wall looking for a better life in the promised land of West Germany. But, that dream eludes her because she can t let go of the childhood and past experiences that have determined her unfortunate path.
No other director gets at the heart of his country s history and culture like Kluge.
