Scharf Aufs Leben

"Scharf Aufs Leben" is a German drama exploring the tangled relationships and personal struggles of its characters against a backdrop of everyday life and desire. A young Senta Berger anchors the film with a performance that gives the story its emotional pull. The archive holds 1 scene from the film, a rare glimpse of Berger baring skin on camera during a period when she was quickly becoming one of German cinema's most watched actresses. Fans of vintage European film will find this clip a compact but worthwhile piece of her early filmography.
