The following are excerpts from Ivo Barnabò Micheli’s 1977 documentary HEINRICH BÖLL, which must count as one of the most extensive interviews with the author ever filmed. The excerpts relate to the political and personal background that led Böll to write THE LOST HONOR OF KATHARINA BLUM, and director Volker Schlöndorff to bring it to the screen.
