"The Marriage of Maria Braun" Winner of the Silver Berlin Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival for Best Actress (Hanna Schygulla) and Outstanding Single Achievement for the entire production team (1979). Hanna Schygulla stars in Fassbinder's spectacular weaving of soap opera, comedy, history, politics and social satire into a lucid whole. Maria marries Hermann Braun the night before he is called to the front in WWII Germany. Soon he's believed to be dead, and Maria starts working her way up through the bedrooms of the social elite. When her husband suddenly returns, a fight ensues and she ends up clobbering her lover to death. At the American war trial, Hermann accepts blame and prison sentence, while Maria is left to deal with her uncertain pregnancy and promiscuous nature in this darkly humorous metaphor for the German post-war national spirit. German with English subtitles. 120 minutes. |
