Movie Haiku:Sukowa received numerous awards for her moving incarnation of this fabled left-wing heroine. While von Trotta's biopic does a brilliant job of psychological exploration (showing how RL managed to thrive during years of imprisonment), she’s less successful at explicating the complex politics of the early 20th century.
