Description

Elisabeth Trissenaar is the bored wife whose flamboyant affairs epitomize the fake bourgeois morality and buried social and political resentments within German society. Her pleasant, attentive husband (Kurt Raab) is no match for the succession of oppressive lovers she falls prey to. Fassbinder dramatizes this through a Sirkian deployment of bold, ironic colors, brisk melodrama and tight framing. With Bernard Helfrich, Karl Heinz-von Hassel and Udo Kier. In German with English subtitles.

Rainer W. Fassbinder---West Germany---1977---113 mins.
