    • 2009 February 26, Thomas Assheuer, “Deutsches Reinemachen”, in Die Zeit‎:
      Zugleich erfährt der Zuschauer, dass sie nie lesen und schreiben lernte, also fern jener deutsch-abendländischen Kultur war, die ihr der unbescholtene Liebhaber mit seinen literarischen Betthupferln nahegebracht hatte.
      At the same time, the viewer learns that she never learned to read or write, that is, she was far from the German-Western culture which the innocent lover had brought closer to her with his literary bedtime treats.
