German language film byHans-Christian Schmid starringSandra Hüller . The film has been promoted as a more truthful depiction of the real-life events of the exorcism ofAnneliese Michel (September 21 1952 –July 1 1976 ), a German woman who was believed to have been possessed by six or more demons. These events also served as the basis ofScott Derrickson 's 2005 movie "The Exorcism of Emily Rose ".Actress Sandra Hüller received a Silver Bear award in 2006 in Berlin for Best Actress, for her portrait of Anneliese Michel in Requiem.
The film steers clear of special effects or dramatic music and instead presents documentary style filmmaking, which focuses on Michaela’s struggle to lead a normal life, trapped in a limbo which could either represent demonic possession or mental illness, focusing on the latter.
