Coup de Grace

Volker Schlondorff

Set in 1919 this deals with the conflict between an emotionally repressed Prussian officer and the woman who has loved him since childhood. He is fighting the spread of bolshevism...she is a sympathizer.

This was nicely shot and staged but I found the characters unlikable and didn't really care about their fate.
