A German-made film based on one of the most famous German novels by Theodor Fontane. Effi Briest (Hanna Schygulla) is a socially ambitious, 17-year-old German girl who accepts a proposal of marriage from Baron Geert Von Instetten, a much older diplomat. Unfortunately, neither the Baron’s family nor anyone in the secluded town she now calls home accept Effi as an equal. Starved for companionship, Effi begins an innocent friendship with a well-known womanizer that may jeopardize her position as the Baron’s wife.

Release date: 16 June 1977

"23.3. Kaikki kunnia lahjakkaalle Fasu-sedälle, jonka muista elokuvista olen pitänyt paljon, mutta Effi Briestin eloton yläluokkapatsastelu ei herättänyt oikeastaan mitään muuta kuin tarpeen ottaa kitara käteen, jottei aika kuluisi täysin hukkaan. Mustavalkokuvaus on kieltämättä ihan komeaa ja on tässä jotain Bergmanilaista eleganssia, mutta kun mua ei missään vaiheessa elokuvan aikana kiinnostanut hahmojen kohtalo, niin on vähän vaikea sitoutua keskittyneeseen katseluun.
