Cannes Palme D'Or nominee and Best Actress winner (for Barbara Sukowa's luminous performance), this is a sweeping biopic of radical socialist Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919).

“Socialism is the first popular movement in world history that has set itself the goal of bringing  human consciousness, and thereby free will, into play in the social actions of mankind”.
- The Crisis of Social Democracy (1915)
