Madness, All of Life Is Madness(1979)

movie - first aired/released 1979-06-28 - audience 9.0

Directed by Petra Haffter

A 16-year-old schoolgirl writes in her diary about her dreams and longings, especially about her relationship with a man. She uses this feeling, more unconsciously, as an opportunity to daydream and escape from very concrete problems such as job hunting and role conflicts. The film fully engages with the feelings and thoughts of its main protagonist and reproduces her dreams of an ideal world with correspondingly kitschy images.
