«Fontane Effi Briest» is the film by Rainer Werner Fassbinder (1974), starring Hanna Schygulla, Wolfgang Schenck and Ulli Lommel, on DVD.
The film adapts Theodor Fontane's novel: Effi Briest is a seventeen-year-old girl forced to marry Baron Geert von Innstetten, a much older man. Caught between duty and desire, Effi clashes with the rigidity of Bismarck's Prussian society, where appearances govern everything.
