Malina
Directed by Werner Schroeter
Produced by Kuchenreuther Filmproduktion GmbH, Neue Studio Film
A melancholic, intellectually demanding exploration of unrequited passion and emotional dissolution set against the backdrop of Vienna's complex social landscape.
An unusual story of a triangular relationship in Vienna. A woman shares an apartment with a man named Malina. The woman meets Ivan and falls under his spell. It will be her last great passion. Her feelings are so strong and all-encompassing that Ivan can neither understand nor return them.
