Mädchen in Uniform
This landmark of lesbian cinema was the first of just three films made by actor and director Leontine Sagan. She brings a remarkable sensitivity and erotic charge to the story of Manuela (Hertha Thiele), a new student at an all-girls boarding school who—persecuted by the rigid headmistress (Emilia Unda)—falls in love with a compassionate teacher (Dorothea Wieck). Finding her feelings requited, the lonely Manuela experiences first love while also discovering the complexities that come with an illicit romance. The first German film to be cooperatively produced, MÄDCHEN IN UNIFORM endures not only for its groundbreaking homoerotic themes but as a powerful antifascist statement.
Starring Emilia Unda, Dorothea Wieck, Hedwig Schlichter, Hertha Thiele, Ellen Schwanneke, Annemarie von Rochhausen, Erika Biebrach, Lene Berdolt, Margory Bodker, Gertrud de Lalsky
It's a drama and romance movie, and has a rating of 7.5 out of 10 from Imdb which is usually fine for this kind of movie.
