Wetlands (original German title: Feuchtgebiete) is a provocative 2013 film adaptation of Charlotte Roche’s best-selling and controversial novel. Directed by David Wnendt and starring Carla Juri as the brash, candid protagonist Helen Memel, the film confronts taboos around the female body, sexuality, illness, and intimate hygiene with a deliberately transgressive tone. Its blend of dark humor, surreal imagery, and confessional voice unsettled many viewers and sparked debate about whether shock was being used for genuine insight or mere provocation.
