(Superb cult movie!)    
(The Marriage of Maria Braun)
(Fassbinder's Best Film)    
(MASTERPIECE)     "The Marriage of Maria Braun" is an interesting movie that gives the audience a look at the other side of WWII in Europe. I'm not about to make any case for sympathy towards the German side in that war but people are people and the civilians and returning soldiers had an enormous challenge to rebuild their lives, their families, and their country. We get a sense of this by watching the post-war life of a woman who had married in the midst of an air raid and only had a day-long honeymoon. As she waited for her husband to come home from the war, she finds the need to make adjustments. The movie is about those adjustments and I don't think it would be fair to elaborate because I had no hint of what was to come next and that helped me appreciate the movie all the more. Let's just say that Maria Braun reminded me a lot of Scarlet O'Hara.
I thought that "The Marriage of Maria Braun" was a very good movie because of how well I felt it brought out its' message of survival and its' consequences. I was satisfied that I had gotten the director's intended message but then I saw this sequence between what seemed to be the proper end and the cast and credits. What was that all about? I milled it over and wondered whether or not the director, Rainer Fassbinder, was trying to make a statement about the division of Germany. I could understand how one character's success and materialism represents West Germany. It's alliance with the West was enriching but may have involved compromising aspects of it's self-respect. Another character's imprisonment represented the confinement and lack of freedom of East Germany. I wonder if the point was to suggest that, after such a long seperation, the potential reunion was going to be difficult. If the ending throws you off, don't worry, the previous two hours says enough.
This film consolidated in all the world to Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Even he had a huge number of avid viewers who knew about him by other titles. This picture became the First German Film really commercial all over the world. Hanna Schygulla shone as a real Super Nova with this complex , intelligent and crude tale.
Fassbinder interweaved a web which linked almost fifteen years of live story through the eyes of a loyal woman whom suddenly after she marries, his husband is requested to participate in the War. From that day she will wait for him, day after day until she decides to make a breakthrough with the life when the hunger and the misery slowly will surround her whole family.
The rest of the story runs for you. Magnificent script, an anthological ending who still is shocking. Indeed this was film of the famous Trilogy with Lola and Veronika Voss.
The sudden death of Fassbinder in 1982, left the German Cinema literally orphan and his place still keeps empty.
The marriage that only elapsed a day and all night long.
You have got to be kidding. This film is a waste of time unless you like to view softcore porn of the interracial flavor. Sure, she wants to be successful, but why is it important to show all the sick details? To get the"full emotional impact"? So you can really feel what she went through? The psuedo-intellectual (this review makes no claim at intellectual) arguments and reviews simply don't hold water. What is this film trying to say? It simply tries to show what one woman went through during and after the war in her attempts to become propsperous while"waiting for her love". What a load of crap. While"waiting for her love", whom she hears is dead, she engages in love affairs, in which she simply claims to have detatched emotion from...well...er...motion...Again, what a load of crap. She is simply trying to make herself look good, and trying to lose herself by giving in to every (so-called)"guilty pleasure"she can to avoid feeling or experiencing what is really going on around her. This movie is a waste of time, and I would place it in the same category as a Clint Eastwood film for its gratuitous and unnecessary"love"scenes. Without a doubt this is Fassbinder's best film. Many of his others are too whacked or just have poor acting and plot, but with this one he was on target. This movie provides a shattering view of what it was like for a woman in post war Germany. Often we have seen movies that show what it was like in occupied europe during or after the war, but few movies have provided what the German civilian experience was like.Fassbinder provides his usual chaotic and striking images, which can sometimes be a little odd and weird, but work well here. From the nutty marriage in the beginning to the final tragic end, this movie provides a tour-de-force of what the ruin and devastation of the war was like for Germany and its people. Hanna Schygulla is an impressive and sexy actress! Her forward style combined with her good looks makes for a fascinating combination. She lights up every scene in this movie. There are some controversial moments in this film, which considering that it was done in the 1970s are pretty avant-garde. Interracial activities may be considered standard now in US movies, but 30 years ago this was very much a taboo subject. While this only comprises a small segment of the film, we can see that Fassbinder loved to deal with this kind of forbidden fruit. There is probably a lot of German cinematic technique that I am glossing over, which a film student would go ape over. I see the movie as a social-historical epic and thus my perspective is different. On many different levels this movie has interest, but I think its portrayal of the human cost of the Second World War on the German pysche is the most revealing. Even though a people may survive a devastating conflict, the emotional scars can linger for generations. Germany is still not a complete country pyschologically today because of the legacy of Hitler and the war, even with recent unification. Hence what appears on the surface to be Germany's almost bizarre aversion toward any kind of war today, even if justified. Those who have seen holocaust films like "Schlinder's List" should compare this film to see the other side of the coin (If they can). It might certainly prove educational. You won't see this kind of movie being made in Hollywood, ever! An utterly shattering experience, unlike anything you have ever seen before. Fassbinder was a master of the cinematic medium, creating vibrant characters, brilliant dialogue and unforgettable images. Incredible in every way, with Hanna Schygulla in one of her best performances.If you truly love great cinema, you must see this film. Hanna Schygulla was a true star in this remarkable, semi-allegorical drama by Rainer Werner Fassbinder about a woman whose new marriage soon becomes a long history of waiting for reunification with her husband as he goes off to war, gets lost on the Russian front, ends up in prison, and goes to America. Meanwhile, the phantom marriage suspends the title character in a destiny that leads to power and wealth while still anticipating his return. One of several cinematic metaphors by Fassbinder for the identity and experience of post-war Germany, this 1978 film looks more than ever like a masterpiece.--Tom Keogh Rerations < Marriage of Maria Braun (Sub) [VHS] >

(Bad Movie!)
(AVOID THIS MOVIE)
(Parisian girl leaves adolescence behind)    17 year old Parisian, Beth, lives in poverty with her sick mother and little brother. When Beth's good looking boyfriend suggests she get some experience and sleep with someone ugly-the uglier the better-Beth comes to the realization that her life is probably going to be one of continual disenchantment. She seeks solace in a man who might be like her idealized Rimbaud-a heart broken writer living in a sparse apartment-to no avail. She dumps her indifferent boyfriend who has now become incensed that his sexual object has spurned him. At her mother's insistence,"I've done worse things for you", Beth sleeps with Sugardad, a 65 year old "doctor" and her mother's lover-for the money to leave her existence behind. As her mother prosaicilly puts it before Beth leaves the apartment to go to the doctor's house, "You're no longer a child". One doubts Beth ever was.
Typical of French films, the story arc here is not strong and the references are subtle, so know what you are getting. This is not a loud American film. As Beth enters Sugardads apartment, she goes into his examination room and adjusts the examination table to prone position to suggest the sexual encounter that is about to happen. And though everyone says Beth is no longer a child, we watch as Beth dances on the carpet while waiting for Sugardad to answer a call, placing her feet toe to heel as if balancing on a curb she's trying not to fall off of. Sugardad's examination room is covered in cobwebs, but his phone is ringing off the hook-an allusion to the fact that her mother is a morphine addict and Sugardad her dealer.
The acting here is wonderful and the story charming. I enjoyed this film, but it isn't uplifting. However, it is a lighter and more beatiful version of the completely gutting "Lilya 4-Ever".
This move was a complete waste of time and money! Talk about a build up to a let down ending... This movie is not erotic. In fact, it's not even entertaining. I thought the French were better at making this kind of movie... I guess not though. EROTIC NOT IN MY LIFE TIME, NUFF SAID This is a charming little film made in the agreeable French tradition of Vadim, Techine, Kieslowski, et al, in which the film itself reflects the director's adoration for its pretty young star. In this case we have Director Benoît Jacquot adoring Judith Godrèche, who plays a poor but principled 17-year-old Parisian girl disenchanted with her life, in particular with the choices she has in males. Her boyfriend tells her she should sleep with somebody ugly. Just why isn't clear. He is referred to as "whatshisname."She meets an interesting man, Alphonse, played by Marchel Bozonnet, but he is too old for her and, at any rate, still enamored of another. And certainly she doesn't want her mother's lover, referred to as "Sugardad," who is in his sixties.Godrèche herself is as natural and unself-conscience as a child. Dressed mostly in thin house dresses that cling lightly to her body, she displays the clear eyes, the clean jaw line and sculptured arms of youthful innocence. The camera adores her face and stays with her throughout. Clearly she is good and good to look at, but I would not say she is as enchanting as Krzysztof Kieslowski's Irène Jacob (La Double vie de Véronique (1991); Trois Couleurs: Rouge (1994)) nor as talented as Juliette Binoche in Andre Techine's Rendez-Vous (1985). And of course not nearly as sexy as BrigitteBardot in Roger Vadim's And God Created Woman (1957). But comparisons are odious. This is a good film in its own right. The treatment suggests a short story from a literary journal, original, with quiet, unexpected tableaux of daily life leaving one to ponder. The climax appears without one's knowing it until the film begins the closing credits and then one understands what happened. There is a dark symbolic element throughout suggesting the bondage to the material world that comes when a girl is no longer a child. Vietnamese-French actor Hai Truhong Tu is excellent in a small part as Godrèche's Chinese friend. Judith Godreche (The Man In The Iron Mask, Ridicule) stars as Beth, an enchanting young Parisian girl whose boyfriend, in the middle of a petty argument, dares her to bed the ugliest man she can find, to test her love for him. What follows is more than a test of love; it is also one of courage and will. Three men cross her path: an older man whose mistress is Beth's invalid mother; a young, inexperienced boy her own age; and, finally, 40 year-old Alphonse, a handsome, mysterious stranger.
Taking a simple premise and a beautiful young woman, Benoit Jacquot has created a masterpiece of French cinema, capturing in full the talents of the young actress Judith Godreche and displaying beautifully his own innovative style. Rerations < The Disenchanted >

(The excellent night)   
(moderately interesting; less revealing than promised, but...)  
(Not tonight...)
(Daniella By Night) It's been through the projector's film gate too many times. Film scratches, extreme contrast and low resolution make this Elke Sommer classic difficult to watch.
Beautiful and cute Elke, I enjoyed the movies very much. But I am greatly disappointed to see that the most inportant scene of strip tease cut off,the picture on the movie's package.
This performance, the last by Ms. Elke Sommer, supposedly before she did films outside of Europe, has a moderately interesting story, where Ms. Sommer plays a fashion model caught up in a murder and some intrigue in Europe. It has one brief, all too brief, scene, of some topless women and a brief bit of breast, and some bottom, shown by Ms. Sommer, which, I guess, for 1962, was pretty revealing, but less than promised. (...) She's cute, but not worth more than what I payed for it (...). The opening title sequence is cut in half--enough said. Not a good transfer. In my opinion, this is one of the worst film transfers my eyes have ever seen. Wait for another transfer of Daniella By Night to come out at some point, and then purchase it. Stay Aaway from this movie! Starring the original sex kitten Elke Sommer, DANIELLA BY NIGHT is Elke's last French film before beginning her American career. Daniella (Elke Sommer), a beautiful young French model, leaves for Rome with a contract from its leading fashion house. In no time she meets the finest of Roman society... and becomes embroiled in a murderous spy plot. DANIELLA BY NIGHT is notable for its famous nude scene of Elke, its climax atop the roof of the Musee d'Orsay, and a scintillating score by music great Charles Aznavour.
