D 1967, D, SC, C Recha Jungmann, Print colour, 16mm from Super 8, 13 min, German OV, Arsenal – Institut für Film und Videokunst e.V.
The camera caresses Renate’s legs, and soon we find ourselves up close to Renate – now nanny to the filmmaker’s son – as a corpulent girl of 13. The way she pulls on her underwear, jumps over the stream, stands in the water, her dress wet. From the water come the stories; she begins to tell her love story, and this is all so intimate, so loving, so close, that we slip into the girl’s heart, and it’s impossible to act like voyeurs. We see only her, in close proximity, and so we can’t do anything but love Renate [...]. Made in 1967, and still just as touching, just as provocative, unsurpassed. (Doris Kuhn, Rote Küsse – FilmSchauBuch, 1990)
