Yes, Nastassja did it, but will she get away with murder?
16 September 2003
This appears to be Nastassja Kinski's third film - made for TV, but probably not run in the US in its unedited form because of its nudity which is nothing shocking. The film is dubbed into English from German, but it is highly unlikely that Nastassja did the dubbing because her voice is so different. Nastassja as Sina Wolf is having an affair with her English teacher and is caught in the act by one of her admiring male classmates. Blackmail ensues and when it comes time for Sina to pay off, she kills her blackmailer with a rock because she finds him repulsive when he attempts to make love with her, his price for silence as well as forcing her to be his perpetual girl friend. The bulk of the movie concerns Nastassja attempting to evade incriminating herself as a murderess with a dogged police detective in hot pursuit because he senses something fishy. This was not much of a role for Nastassja and certainly not up to her performances in "The Wrong Move" or "To the Devil...a Daughter." At least she is always on screen and looks like a sixteen year old student. "For Your Love Only" is a filler movie in her career that was followed by the totally uninspiring "Boarding School." "For Your Love Only" is not awful, but it isn't exactly good either. Just acceptable and a minor footnote in her meteoric career.
