Die Spalte 1971 15 year old Sophie escapes from an orphanage to get away from the authoritarian rule of the nuns who run it On the street she doesnt find freedom but a pimp who picks her up and makes her a prostitute Visually the movie goes beyond the limits One explicitly shown rape scene follows the other Sophies body is dragged around, beaten, raped and dragged around again You get only a view glimpses on her personality hidden behind that surface The movie swims on the sexploitation wave that flooded German cinema in the late 60s but it goes beyond a cheap arousement Its comparable to Ulrike Meinhofs Bambule, that shows the fate of runaway girls forced into sex work Meinhofs movie was on TV in May 1970 A few months later Meinhof joined the RAF terror group to fight a society that produced fates like Sophies The end of this movie might be seen as a comment on this development It deliverers for sure the and storm break loose urge for violence that overshared German history in the decade to come
