The Merchant of Four Seasons Reviews
The Prince of Pain
Fassbinder is the Prince of Pain. In "Merchant,"baby-faced Hans grew up with a cruel mother & driven-to-success siblings. Hans joined the foreign legion to prove himself-but got the greatest defeat of his life. Hans struggles to sell fruit in apartment courtyards (a dying trade). To sum it up: In battle, so called buddies could have helped more. In life, his wife could have helped more. In a unique Fassbinder ending both comic & melancholy,Hans loses interest in life, then ironically a woman he loves(now married)offers up a quickie (too little too late).
Another jewel film of the unforgettable Fassbinder
The prolific career of Rainer Werner Fassbinder (thirty six films in seventeen years ) reached one of the glorious peaks with that work . A fruit peddler watches his unexceptional life abrades slowly as a tragic adagio.
The creative powers of Rainer made of him the tragic memory of the Post War Germany . His talent allowed him evoke with horrid precision the timeless and small tragedies of the common people . All these films served him as the secure plataform for his mythical Berlin Alexanderplatz , some years after .
Powerful script and ensamble process . Watch once more to that supreme goddess and exceptional actress of the german cinema : Hanna Schygulla .
