The Future of Emily (Flügel und Fasseln) is the work of Helma Sanders-Brahms, one of the original New German Cinema directors of the early 1970s. Unlike some of her more caustic films about the German experience, this is a relatively conventional drama of generational jealousy and bitterness, a picture that could well be a stage play. It’s also reminiscent of American movies about strong women in conflict, pitting famous German star Hildegard Knef against French actress Brigitte Fossey. Knef’s big break came with the very first post-war German success The Murderers Are Among Us. Fossey’s best-known picture remains René Clément’s Forbidden Games, where she played a Parisian tot orphaned by the war. The film’s original German title translates as “Wings and Shackles”, which apparently refers to the predicament of its movie star heroine Isabelle, a woman adored by fans but hobbled by family disapproval.

The post Rainer Werner Fassbinder – Die Ehe der Maria Braun aka The Marriage of Maria Braun [+Extras] (1979) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
Maria (Hanna Schygulla) marries Hermann Braun in the last days of World War II, only for him to go missing in the war. Alone, Maria puts to use her beauty and ambition in order to find prosperity during Germany’s “economic miracle” of the 1950s. Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s biggest international box-office success, The Marriage of Maria Braun is a heartbreaking study of a woman picking herself up from the ruins of her own life, as well as a pointed metaphorical attack on a society determined to forget its past.
