Friday Films @Max Mueller Bhavan
Carla
Director: Herrmann Zschoche, b/w, 134 min., 1965/66
Karla Blum has joined a school as a teacher. It is important for her that people should have their own opinions. But her students have apparently never known how to ask questions.
The film was considered nihilistic, skeptical and hostile by officials. It became one of the dozen East German films banned in 1965-66. Only in 1990, after the fall of the Wall, was Carla finally screened in cinemas.
