Sugarbaby - 1985 - 6/10
AKA - Zuckerbaby
A German fräulein, large sized, socially invisible, works as a mortician.
No matter what a “great personality” she has, she is an outcast. And lonely.
Then, riding the subway, Marianne spies Huber, the driver.
Boom, boom, boom! He’s good looking, he’s rock candy, and she knows she wants him.
Offbeat love story of obsession and fool’s hope.
The late night, neon color scheme enhances the haunted landscape.
Marianne Sägebrecht is wonderful in this bittersweet prayer of desire.
