Die bitteren Tränen der Petra von Kant by Werner Fassbinder

[lostindf]

"Warum läuft Herr R. Amok" - ¿Por qué corre Amok, el señor R?

Año: 1970

Director: Rainer Werner Fassbinder 

Dirigida con el misticismo y grandeza, como sólo podría Fassbinder, rompe con la forma de realizar el cine en toda Alemania, con estereotipos y convencionalismos. Temas y proezas como la decadencia de los seres humanos, de las emociones, la soledad, el miedo como herramientas que las personas tenemos y explotamos de vez en cuando. Sin duda, la forma de hacer cine de Fassbinder nos ha hecho mirar de otra forma al cine Alemán. Porqué corre Amok, el señor R, es una película donde se exploran las formas más sinceras y profundas del ser humano, donde podemos encontrar la verdad dentro de cada uno de nosotros. La capacidad de quiebre en cada persona, ¿hasta dónde sería capaz un hombre de mediana edad, casado y con un hijo, a asesinar a sangre fría a su familia?. 

Esto y más son cualidades encontradas intrínsecamente en la película, desde cómo se comporta la cámara en situaciones tensas, o cómo están montados cada encuadre. Amok, la sensación de que algo más ocurrirá con el clima, como cuando los animales se refugian antes de un temblor, terremoto, o tsunami, la película está en busca de ese cambio de estación permanente, a un cambio de estación sensible, distinta, pacífica.

Die Ehe der Maria Braun (1979)

A Rainer Werner Fassbinder film also known as "The Marriage Of Maria Braun". This movie follows the life of a young German woman, married to a soldier in the waning days of WWII. Fassbinder has tried to show the gritty life after the end of WWII and the turmoil of the people trapped in its wake, and like always with brilliant writing.

Braun (Hanna Schygulla) is working at a bar for American GI's and even after she hears from a fellow soldier that Hermann has died, will still stand by him as she sleeps with a black GI and comes close to bearing his child, but then her husband (Klaus Löwitsch) reappears and a murder occurs, he takes the rap so she can be safe. Later she works for a German businessman (Ivan Desny) and becomes his sometimes mistress and rising star in the company. Maria will do whatever it takes to be successful, but she'll always be married.

Karl Oswald: You were different last night. Maria Braun: Last night I slept with you. Today I'm working for you. Karl Oswald: Afraid someone will think we're having an affair? Maria Braun: I don't care what people think. I do care what you think. And you're not having an affair with me. I'm having an affair with you.
