Her only foray into science fiction—about the havoc wrought on society by a television that satisfies every human craving—The Last Days of Gomorrah was a favorite of Sanders-Brahms, who brought feminist politics to the New German Cinema movement of the 1970s. Rarely screened, it is a forceful piece of capitalist realism, critiquing working-class alienation and commodity culture.
