Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of anyone who loves backroom deals and speeches and romantics. Power and ambition drive every scene. A good follow-up to The Way We Were.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 50 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1965: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Maria, a young student sees her brother Dieter going to prison for sedition against the state. She starts an affair with Paul, a judge who turns out to be the one who sentenced her brother, which eventually leads to a confrontation.
