En esta película de corte político y de clara propaganda antistalinista tras la invasión rusa en 1968, un grupo de apasionados comunistas vagabundea por el campo difundiendo las ideas marxistas. Este film tuvo problemas con la censura, justamente porque “una gran parte de público, inocentemente, no se dio cuenta de que los monólogos a modo de eslogan de la mujer que lidera el grupo se habían tomado al pie de la letra de las apasionadas cartas de Marx a Arnold Ruge de 1843 (publicadas con el mismo título que la película), y de fuentes como el Manifiesto comunista”.

The bloodstained bed suggest a crime..No answers are given, after the torrrent of words at the beginning of the film, all the film offers are closed images and more questions..Is it even blood on the bed, what fracture is there between seeing and certainty? If there has been a crime, 'she' might still be victim..How can a crime of such complexity and continuity be 'solved'? The voice searches for clues, sifting through them, reading and re-reading until the words and letters loom up nightmarishly, no longer hung on the structure of language.

Menschenfrauen is a film about relationships and the psychological oppression of women in society. Franz, a journalist, maintains relationships with four women. His three mistresses are introduced with television dreams of intense emotional violence (in the first dream, a mother shouts at her daughter, explaining that as a girl, she does not deserve a room of her own), and the fourth is his wife. He is desperate to have each to himself. Franz never offers a substantial sign of love, but is willing to say anything and make any promise for affection. His dependence on women for fulfilment is explained through arguments with his wife. He claims "I am my own sound. The women produce voices within me." An understandable and sometimes sympathetic antagonist is one of the films greatest strengths. The emotional damage he causes becomes believable.
