Coup de Grâce
Der Fangschuss (original)
Latvia, 1919: the end of the Russian Civil War. An aristocratic young woman (brilliantly played by Margarethe von Trotta) becomes involved with a sexually repressed Prussian soldier. When she is rejected by her love, the young woman is sent into a downward spiral of psychosexual depression, promiscuity, and revolutionary collaboration. A startling tale of heartbreak and violence set against the backdrop of bloody revolution, Volker Schlöndorff's COUP DE GRÂCE is a powerful film that explores the interrelation of private passion and political commitment.
Starring Margarethe von Trotta, Matthias Habich, Rüdiger Kirschstein, Mathieu Carrière, Valeska Gert, Frederik von Zichy, Bruno Thost, Marc Eyraud, Henry van Lyck, Alexander von Eschwege
