So, 'Sie war keine Lady' is this intriguing piece from 1985 that dives into the nostalgia of the past through the lens of a young couple. They reflect on the tales surrounding the 'Wirtin von der Lahn,' an inn in Gießen that seems almost like a character in itself. What’s distinctive here is how it weaves in snippets from various 'Wirtinnen' films, creating a patchwork of stories that feels both personal and universal. The pacing meanders gently, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere. The performances have a raw, authentic quality that hooks you in. It’s not just about the storytelling; it's about the memories and the spaces that hold them, and that makes it a unique entry in the lineage of German cinema from this era.
This film has had a bit of a rocky journey in terms of availability. It's not a title you come across often, which contributes to its allure for collectors. Originally released in a fairly limited format, it has become somewhat of a curiosity among those interested in German cinema from the '80s. If you stumble upon a copy, it’s worth considering for its unique narrative style and the nostalgic charm it encapsulates.
