rwf's the third generation from 1979 with hanna schygulla

werner, this ones great. the terrorists of the later raf terror group were just puppets in the hands of state and entrepreneurs alike. they lacked a political vision and profound analytical skills. memorable "joke" told by the agent provocateur, "terrorism was invented by entrepreneurs to force the state into supporting them even more."
the godard elements lend the film its necessary comical effect.

 

[Oh my god. it's Robby!]

not my choice, but better than I thought it would be, I especially liked all the Spanish spoken in it, it allowed me to act as translator for once for that language since the person I watched it with had no knowledge of that language at all, but still, not that great so just a C+

as i have watched almost all rwf films available on youtube and mubi by now, even those with russian subtitles and farsi dubs, next step was gettin everything the local library has on stock. i added a sirk film, as he was, acco to all his biographers and befriended directors, a great influence on our beloved rainer.

which one did you like the best? of all the ones I've seen (and ive only seen a handful) I would say veronika voss is my favourite. the cinematography is stunning in that, the light just shimmers. but largely I don't love his films. his characters are so unlikeable. I like the look of them though.

I love judy davis. she has the best face: those cynical eyes, the flaring nostrils, the shape of her mouth when she talks and smiles. this film however was just okay. a little boring. I do like the setting though. for some reason 19th century Australia appeals to me, while modern day Australia appeals to me not at all. if it were my film she would have married sam oneill. he was so cute and nice in it.

1/2

thats the current state of the fassbinder affair:

so far, i liked martha and world on a wire best. and i agree that his films are unlikeable inasmuch as they are impertinent in a gritty way, hovering between melodrama and hard realism, often anarchic in their lack of narrative stringency. i never feel at home in them, but thats how rainer felt in postwar west germany, with the nazis still around prospering in the wirtschaftswunder.

as you can see in my list, i havent watched veronika voss yet. but i guess that what you describe as a shimmering light is one of the melodramatic 50s hollywood elements that he, strange enough, admired so much. if you are looking for more likeable characters in rwf, the ali-film "fear eat soul" might be more appealing to you, even though the two protagonists are too good to be true, but it's a comical film first of all.

can you see in the list, which rwf films you have watched besides veronika voss?

 

[Stephen Hofmann]

The Irishman - Another gangster movie. If you've seen Casino or Goodfellas.......you don't need this. Didn't need to be made.
Rambo/Last Blood - Rubbish. Avoid.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood-Excellent apart from some poor editing. Righteous ending.

First saw her in a movie from 1981 on video called "Heatwave" roughly based on a true story. She certainly had a quality.

wow, you're really into this.

other than veronika voss, ive only seen satansbraten, angst vor der angst, the bitter tears of petra von kant, and chinesisches roulette. I really liked angst vor der angst as well (along with that actress he uses). the others were meh.

i think angst vor der angst is different to angst essen seele auf.
thats the latter with the one and only brigitte mira and her arab husband ali:

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

beautiful, if i may say so.

short film of about 7:30 mins.

yes, lovely. thank you.

watched veronika voss today. loved it. the smoothest fassbinder so far, and as you said, the light work is fantastic.
some of the scenes are pastiches of one of my all time favorites, "the third man", especially the murder of the girlfriend journalist who is run down by a car crossing an empty street.
sorry to see though that it was his last but one movie ending with voss being forced into committing suicide. so close to his own death.

yes, it is different. probably give that one a try if I can find it!
glad you liked veronika voss. might watch that one again too!

The irishman is being slaughtered by viewers all over the internet and you should have gone for this one instead:

Saw the trailer the other week and viewer reviews.....was also getting pretty negative press by the punters.

Brilliant female actors compared to those old foolish left wing men. Nowhere near as slaughtered as The Irishman. Even the trailers tells you which one to watch and which one to avoid.

But what did you expect from The Irishman when it's a Netflix production?

The difference between The Irishman and The Kitchen is that The Kitchen stays true to a real life story and the other one is a complete mock up.

Never seen such harsh criticism in ages then I realised it was Netflix again. They manage to take great actors and great directors and great stories and turn it into complete shit when it comes to movies.

The makers of it take themselves very seriously and did this special:

27 years later the kids are adults with lives and careers but return to Derry as the only one who remained there keeps his promise and calls them all when Pennywise returns.

This is extremely entertaining and to me it is a full blown comedy with so many references to other movies and things you probably need to watch it a few times to get it all.

Opens with a homophobic attack on a gay couple and surprisingly the anti gay vibes pop up later as well. Like in any classic movie adaptation of his books Stephen King pops up in this one playing a store owner.

It feels like he is behind a few things in this movie and the big vaccines sign tells me he might be one of many questioning them and what is in those shots people are getting. The Shining reference with "Here's Johnny" is funny but so are most of the things in this one cause if you watch this as anything else than an entertaining movie which has almost genre in it you will feel like watching a circus.

A swedish clown is the leader of it.

Do they play a ABBA song or is it some band who tried their hardest to sound like them?

Moving end somehow and a weird cast that still works. Jake Weary from Animal Kingdom playing the opening scenes gay basher was a surprise.

This is like Stranger Things meets Alien meets a whole lot of movies and at one point it feels like a family adventure movie where you expect everyone to smile at it instead of hiding behind a pillow all scared.

May this story rest in peace now!
