The Last Days of Gomorrah (1974) [Movie] TMDB IMDb
Die letzten Tage von Gomorrha
other title: Die letzten Tage von Gomorrha
Her only foray into science fiction—about the havoc wrought on society by a television that satisfies every human craving—The Last Days of Gomorrah was a favorite of Sanders-Brahms, who brought feminist politics to the New German Cinema movement of the 1970s. It is a forceful piece of capitalist realism, critiquing working-class alienation and commodity culture.

Emily, a child, stays with her bourgeois grandparents during frequent periods when her mother makes films.

It's also apparent that Isabelle's mother, Paula, is unhappy - with her husband and with her youthful hopes dashed when she became pregnant with Isabelle. Unbeknownst to Isabelle, the co-star of the film she's just made has followed her, checked into a nearby hotel, and wants to begin an affair, even though he's married. Can Isabelle sort it out? What's best for Emily?

A French architect and a Polish photographer enjoy a love affair and meet regularly in Berlin for passionate weekends.
