The only thing true is an empty stomach.
Fassbinder uses the character Maria to symbolise postwar Germany - the damage caused to the national psyche is reflected in her cold-hearted and ruthless personality. His familiar themes, the obsession of sex and money pushing people towards severity and self-destruction, are brutally delivered. Made when the director was at the peak of self abuse which would kill him four years later, the film is beautifully directed with an outstanding performance from Hanna Schygulla.

We'll buy ourselves a little piece of heaven.
El Hedi ben Salem, Fassbinder's partner at the time, plays a Moroccan immigrant given the generic title of Ali as his real name is too long to pronounce, who engages in an improbable but tender affair with a fiftysomething cleaning woman called Emmi. The venomous and violent reaction exposes the hyprocrisy and prejudice of modern society and Fassbinder does masterful job of presenting the persecuters behaviour as more uncivilised than their opinions on interracial partnerships. It's a typically simple yet devastating, realistic film concerning loneliness and the ugly side of human nature from one cinema's greatest directors.

The Reader
- 29 Dec 2008
Why are Anglo-Americans making films about Germany’s collective shame over the Holocaust? And why now?

At a pinch we could throw in Defiance too (released next week), another WWII story, this time about Jewish resistance – such as it was. I have a feeling that the international... Read more
