Because of the enormous influence of New German Cinema and the importance of Fassbinder himself, the film is already considered a classic. \"Maria Braun\" is its director's attempt to recount and assess postwar German history through the personal example of his main character, played brilliantly by Hanna Schygulla. It is also a tribute to the Hollywood directors of the women's movies of the thirties and forties. Maria, and in the loose allegory Fassbinder has constructed, Germany itself, in their cold acquisitiveness and materialism, melodramatically rise from the ashes of World War II only to veer toward an inevitable doom that takes the film full circle, recalling the film's opening shots of a city reduced to rubble. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This volume contains the editor's introduction, a chronology of the the years 1943-1954, a biographical sketch of Fassbinder, the full transcript of the film as released, notes on the shooting script, interviews with the scriptwriter and director, commentary on Douglas Sirk by Fassbinder, reviews, commentaries by Thomas Elsaesser and Sheila Johnston, a filmography, and a bibliography. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joyce Rheuban\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.10w x 0.77d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813511306","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40180637368435,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":33.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_2e3fca01-6d51-4145-b4e7-de82ed3e4b32.jpg?v=1655471014","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-marriage-of-maria-braun-rainer-werner-fassbinder-director-9780813511306","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
