Made for German television, For Your Love Only offers a glimpse of a young and very appealing Nastassja Kinski. Cast as impressionable student Sina, Kinski falls hopelessly in love with her much-older teacher. An extortionist threatens to reveal the girl's indiscretion, driving her to commit murder. It's a testament to the instinctive acting skills of Kinski that the audience continues pulling for her even after she's killed a man. Director Wolfgang Petersen completed For Your Love Only between his more celebrated projects Black and White Like Day and Night (1978) and Das Boot (1981). Originally titled Reifezeugnis, For Your Love Only was released theatrically in 1982. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
