Synopsis:
Film adaptation of the short Büchner story of the same name, which tells of the stay of the psychotic Sturm und Drang poet Lenz in the home of the Alsatian priest and philanthropist Oberlin. The poet, whose pathological hallucinations are becoming increasingly unbearable, hopes for help from the gentle clergyman. But Oberlin, too, knows no advice; he regards his friend’s illness as God-given.

“Wild, rugged landscapes, village idylls, archaically simple relationships. Social institutions such as church and family are suddenly no longer regarded as constraints, but as scaffolding to which the poet Lenz, alienated from himself and the environment to the point of madness, clings.” (Die Zeit, 9.4.1971). On earth, however, he is beyond help.

“Lenz” is a production of the Literary Colloquium Berlin (LCB). Free of commercial interests, the LCB made its production facilities available to film freaks and literati. George Moorse was at home in pop and underground culture; he came from New York and brought the cameraman Gérard Vandenberg with him from Amsterdam. After several short films and experimental works, Moorse achieved the feat of a true-to-life literary adaptation that finds expressive visual equivalents for Büchner’s language. He entrusted the role of the Sturm-und-Drang poet to Michael König, an actor engaged at the Schaubühne, who also filmed with R.W. Fassbinder, Syberberg, Zadek and Peter Stein. Contemporary critics considered ‘Lenz’ to be masterful; König received a ‘Filmband in Gold’ as best leading actor. Wolfram Schütte placed ‘Lenz’ next to Werner Herzog’s ‘Lebenszeichen’: “Two erratic blocks in our film landscape.” (Michael Töteberg)

He looks for her among his old revolutionary friends, then turns to the police for help. He discovers that Hanna is dead. A natural death? Suicide?

“This surrealistic experimental film finds the son of a young nobleman staying with hash-smoking hippies in a seamy section of Munich. He falls for a hippie girl who is involved in shaking down the young man’s parents for money. She falls in love with the young man but the group continues to extract money from the parents in return for their wayward son. When he discovers the shakedown, his rage leads to tragedy for the star-crossed lovers.”

The post Hans-Jürgen Syberberg – San Domingo (1970) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

In the 15th century, Hans Bohm, a shepherd, claimed to have been visited by the Virgin Mary. He began preaching and gathered around him thousands of disciples who believed him to be the New Messiah. He was arrested and burned at the stake by the church. Fassbinder uses this true story to reflect the sexual and political upheaval in Germany, showing how and why revolution fails.

The post Rainer Werner Fassbinder – Die Niklashauser Fart aka Niklashuasen Journey (1970) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
In the opening scene of Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s Rio Das Mortes, Hanna Schygulla repeats to herself a passage from a childcare book about achievement, indirectly teasing the two protagonists who are to be introduced later. Mike and Günther, feeling unfulfilled by infrequent employment and soured relationships, decide to unravel the mysteries of a treasure map, plotting a trip to Peru in the hopes of finding gold. Mike’s girlfriend Hanna doubts the men’s ability to organise such an excursion, but is crushed when they succeed, and tries to find whatever means she can to stop them.

One of ten films made by Fassbinder between 1970 and 1971, Rio Das Mortes appears to have suffered the most from a lack of focus, with thin characterisation and an unproductive narrative. Whereas the chain-smoking hedonists in his earliest films were consigned to their worthlessness, Mike and Günther are given a misleading goal and take an hour and a half to fail it. And even though the plot promises exploits of Herzogian proportions, there is not enough time in the film for anything to build up, and more importantly, nobody in the film appears to realise that Rio das Mortes is in Brazil. Whether intentional or not, the film offers a host of awkward laughs, particularly during a woeful fight where Günther’s trousers split. There are glimmers of the familiar Fassbinder here, with Schygulla stealing the scene as ever, but all in all one wonders who, if anyone, was driving the film to its conclusion.
