Frauenarzt Dr. Schäfer (1928)
24 Apr 1928 1h 26m
Seen at the Viennale 2019: Prof. Hausen, father of Dr. Schäfer's future fiancé rejects abortion as immoral. In contrast Dr. Schäfer openly advocates for a change in the law. The professors 'convictions are shaken as misfortune enters their own family. Topics such as unwanted pregnancy, sexual violence and the consequences of improperly performed abortions are placed at the center of the cinematic narrative within a surprisingly complex story to get to the point in a very elegant way. The bad guy, Hans Albers is brilliant, but so is the whole cast. If this one is in a cinema around you, definitely a must-see.
