Die goldene Stadt (Шаблон:Lang-en), is a 1942 German color film directed by Veit Harlan, starring Kristina Söderbaum, who won the Volpi Cup for Best Actress.[1]

Plot

Anna, a young, innocent country girl (a Sudeten GermanШаблон:Sfn), whose mother drowned in the swamp, dreams of visiting the golden city of Prague. After she falls in love with a surveyor, she runs away from the countryside near České Budějovice to Prague to find him. She is instead seduced and later abandoned by her cousin (a Czech). She attempts to return home, but her father rejects her, so she drowns herself in the same swamp where her mother died.

Sources

The movie is based on drama Der Gigant by Austrian writer Шаблон:Ill.Шаблон:Sfn In the novel, however, it is the heart-broken father who commits suicide; the Nazi Propaganda Ministry, in particular Joseph Goebbels, insisted that it be the daughter rather than the father who dies.Шаблон:Sfn

Motifs

Anna's fate and drowning are clearly represented as the natural consequence of her failure to appreciate the countryside and her longings for the city.Шаблон:Sfn This harmonizes with the preference for the countryside of the Blood and Soil doctrine.
