The Second Awakening of Christa Klages

The Second Awakening of Christa Klages German Das zweite Erwachen der Christa Klages is a 1978 West German drama film directed by Margarethe von Trotta, her debut solo film.

Critical reception has been overwhelmingly positive. The film was nominated for the best feature award Gold Hugo at the 1978 Chicago International Film Festival and has won the following awards, all in 1978 OttoDibeliusPreis, Deutscher Filmpreis Filmband in Gold for acting as well as Filmband in Silber and FBW Deutsche Film und Medienbewertung for high overall quality. It was called a very earnest movie by The New York Times critic Vincent Canby, an acutely observed reflection by Scott Tobias, and compelling by Londons Time Out. A few reviews, however, were more negative. For example, Chicago Reader critic Dave Kehr wrote that the film is very, very dull and disliked what he saw as the overly serious demeanor of the characters.
