Life Is Like a Cucumber (1990)
Directed by Rosa von Praunheim
Overview
Although too long by half, this documentary is subtitled “A Trip Through Lotti’s Life” and that is essentially what it is. Although done in a style that keeps you guessing what is true and what isn’t about her life—everything from her Aryan lover and her stay in a concentration camp while he is killed for their forbidden love—it is a fascinating look at this remarkable woman through the eyes and viewfinder of Rosa Von Prauheim.
Length 87 minutes
