Black Sin is a Franco-German film by Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub . It premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 1989 in the Un Certain Regard section and continues the work of the two directors with Friedrich Hölderlin after their previous film The Death of Empedocles from 1986.

The text presented in the film is the third Empedocles fragment by Friedrich Hölderlin . The two statues shown at the beginning are Mother Earth and The Avenger by Ernst Barlach . The music is the fourth movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's String Quartet No. 16 in F major, Op. 135, the last work he was able to complete before his death. The fourth movement is entitled The Difficult Decision . The recording of the string quartet comes from the Busch Quartet , which fled Germany to England in 1934 because of National Socialism, and was made in London in 1935.
