An incomparable triumph from Rainer Werner Fassbinder with a luminous and commanding performance from Hanna Schygulla as a woman who must use her brains, drive, and beauty to survive and ultimately thrive in post-war Germany, The Marriage of Maria Braun is unparalleled in its artistic, narrative, and political storytelling. Poignant, empowering, entertaining, and wryly funny, with jaw-dropping cinematography from the legendary Michael Ballhaus that fills the screen with layers upon layers of beauty, and a heroine for any age, this masterpiece has got it all. Married at the tail end of WWII, Maria Braun finds herself alone in the rubble of Berlin as the war draws to a close and word of her husband’s demise reaches her in the slums. Using her wits and undeniably breathtaking looks, Maria gets by as a dance hall girl and works her way up to an executive at a lucrative factory, even as her husband returns from “the dead” and ends up in prison almost immediately. As entertaining as it is mind-blowingly gorgeous, this stunner is not to be missed on glorious 35mm on the big screen!
