The Marquise of O... falls pregnant while unconscious and obstinately continues to insist on the acknowledgement of her moral integrity – and translated Kleist’s ponderous but precise style, with its acute psychological characterisations, into an absolutely fitting language of images, with powerful support from cameraman Nestor Almendros and a stunning, homogeneous cast (from the ensemble of the Schaubühne Berlin). Never putting a foot wrong, they bring to life an emotional world where boundless happiness borders directly on deep despair.”(Urs Jaeggi, Zoom, 12/1976)
