A good movie

1 year, 10 months ago at May 20 6:10
I thought I already saw this movie but, since it was ages ago and since it was available on Netflix, I was quite eager to check it out again. Well, eventually, I'm pretty sure I never saw the damned thing before and I probably confused it with another movie directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. On top of that, it had been such a long time since I saw a movie from this German director and I have to... read more

Description: Ten years after the war, West Germany's market economy is booming. Into an unnamed city that's rife with corruption comes a new building commissioner, Herr von Bohm, committed to progress but also upright. He's smitten by Marie-Louise, a single mother who's his landlady's daughter. Von Bohm does not realize she is also Lola, a singer at a bordello and the mistress of Schuckert, a local builder whose profits depend on von Bohm's projects. When von Bohm discovers Marie-Louise's real vocation and looks closely at Schuckert's work, will this social satire play out as a remake of "Blue Angel," a visit of Chekhov to West Ger ... (more)

" Notes: Rainer Werner Fassbinder gave such a bleak view on Germany around 10 years after WWII. Basically, sure, the Nazis were all gone, in fact, they were barely mentioned, but, if you believe Fassbinder, the German society was still deeply corrupt, decadent and depraved back then. Obviously, I'm not sure if he wanted to give a realistic portrait but there was still something terribly rotten about all these characters. Even the only seemingly good character, the naive von Bohm basically gave u"

“I thought I already saw this movie but, since it was ages ago and since it was available on Netflix, I was quite eager to check it out again. Well, eventually, I'm pretty sure I never saw the damned thing before and I probably confused it with another movie directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. On top of that, it had been such a long time since I saw a movie from this German director and I have to admit that I’m not really familiar with his work. Anyway, in this case, he gave such a bleak view on Germany around 10 years after WWII.

"BRD-trilogian synkimässä näkemyksessä Armin Mueller-Stahl on liikuttavan suoraselkäinen virkamies, joka komennetaan läpeensä turmeltuneeseen pikkukaupunkiin johtamaan rakennushanketta. Jonkinlainen Sininen Enkeli -pastissi tarina ilmeisesti o. En osaa tarkemmin eritellä sillä Sternberg/Dietrich -yhteistöistä loogisesti se kuuluisin on se mitä en ole saanut vielä käsiini. Jonkinlainen sodanjälkeisen Saksan pienoiskuva tarinakin ilmeisesti on. Kirkas materialistinen moraalityhjiö"
