Sugarbaby
Sugarbaby ★★★ Zuckerbaby 1985 (R)
An acclaimed German film about a fat mortuary attendant living in Munich who transforms herself (but doesn't lose weight) in order to seduce a young, handsome subway conductor. Touching and warm film that introduced Sagebrecht to American audiences. A bit too cutting-edge cinematographically. In German with English subtitles. Remade as “Baby-cakes.” Sagebrecht and director Adlon team up again for “Bagdad Cafe” and “Rosalie Goes Shopping.” 103m/C VHS . GE Marianne Saegebrecht, Eisi Gulp, Toni Berger, Will Spendler, Manuela Denz; D: Percy Adlon; W: Percy Adlon.
