Latvia, 1919: the end of the Russian Civil War. An aristocratic young woman (brilliantly played by Margarethe von Trotta) becomes involved with a sexually repressed Prussian soldier. When she is rejected by her love, the young woman is sent into a downward spiral of psychosexual depression, promiscuity, and revolutionary collaboration. A startling tale of heartbreak and violence set against the backdrop of bloody revolution, Volker Schlöndorff’s Coup de grâce is a powerful film that explores the interrelation of private passion and political commitment.

Release Notes on Restoration
Coup de grace
Coup de grâce is presented in the aspect ratio 1.77:1. This new digital transfer was created on a liquid gate Cintel Ursa from the 35mm original negative. The soundtrack was created from a 35mm magnetic track and was mastered at 24-bit. Audio restoration tools were used to reduce clicks, pops, hiss, and crackle. To further enhance the image, the MTI Digital Restoration System was used to remove thousands of instances of dirt, debris, and scratches.
