It tells the moving story of an oppressed Russian woman who is transformed into a militant revolutionary. The original production, written for the Berliner Ensemble, was condemned by Stalinist critics as "formalist" and "politically harmful," although it was hugely popular. Filmed by DEFA, this production - directed after Brecht's death by Manfred Wekwerth - retains much of Brecht's original cast, with a landmark performance by Helene Weigel in the title role.
