My Heart Is Mine Alone

Taking its cues from the mysterious nature of verse, this German romantic drama based on a true story eschews conventional narrative in favor of an experimental approach in its telling of the love affair between Jewish poet Else Lasker-Schüler and Nazi poet Gottfried Benn. Else is forced to flee Germany as the persecution of Jews escalates, but Benn's livelihood is also threatened by the Hitler regime. Lena Stolze, Cornelius Obonya star. 105 min. Standard; Soundtrack: German; Subtitles: English. In German with English subtitles.
