A once-beloved Third Reich–era starlet, Veronika Voss (Rosel Zech) lives in
obscurity in postwar Munich. Struggling for survival and haunted by past
glories, she encounters sportswriter Robert Krohn (Hilmar Thate) in a
rain-swept park and intrigues him with her mysterious beauty. As their unlikely
relationship develops, Robert comes to discover the dark secrets that brought
about the decline of Veronika’s career. Based on the true story of a World War
II Ufa star, Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s Veronika Voss is
wicked satire disguised as a 1950s melodrama. (1982, 104 mins)
