Bildnis einer Trinkerin
Germany
1979 Drama
1h 48min
Original language: German
A portrait of two unusual, extremely different women. One rich, eccentric, hiding her feelings behind a mask, consciously drinks herself to death. The other is a known drinker in town. In the course of the story they try to get to know each other, but they cannot come together. The background is Berlin, thrown open to a grotesque kind of sightseeing (drinkers' geography) and complemented by authentic contributions from people who live here or are visiting, singers, writers, artists, taxi drivers.
