Maedchen in Uniform (Girls in Uniform)
MÄDCHEN IN UNIFORM
Germany
| 1931 | Leontine Sagan, Carl Froelich
Banned in Germany when first released (and censored in many countries since then), this all-female lesbian classic, an early talkie, tells of a sensitive orphan girl sent to a harsh Prussian boarding school where discipline and blind obedience, exemplified by the school’s authoritarian principal, are the norm. She finds relief in a relationship with a loving, tender teacher whose affections aren’t merely maternal.
Subtitles. 16mm. 89 min.
