THE LOST HONOR OF KATHARINA BLUM (1975) | Official Trailer (English Subtitles)

Based on the novel by Heinrich Böll, Volker Schlöndorff and Margarethe von Trotta's New German Cinema classic follows housekeeper Katharina Blum as she navigates media scrutiny and personal ruin after she spends the night with a suspected terrorist. THE LOST HONOR OF KATHARINA BLUM was October 2025's #KINOFilmSalon pick! Host Jim Kolmar calls the film “a startlingly prescient film whose incendiary social commentary continues to send shock waves fifty years later. Today, the film still impresses with its evocation of state-sponsored violence, a lurid, predatory press hungry for a scoop, and the fragile nature of facts that can be all too easily manipulated.” DIE VERLORENE EHRE DER KATHARINA BLUM Dir. Volker Schlöndorff West Germany, 1975 106 min. With Angela Winkler, Mario Adorf, Dieter Laser, Jürgen Prochnow
