Movie description
THE BITTER TEARS OF PETRA VON KANT is a scathing chamber piece that could have only sprung from the mind of German cinema's enfant terrible, Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Based on a play by the maniacally prolific writer-director, the film is a hyper-contained tale of obsession and deception. Margit Carstensen plays the titular character, an emotionally unstable fashion designer who becomes obsessed with one of her models, the gorgeous Karin (Hanna Schygulla). What at first appears to be an open and shut case of the powerful dominating the powerless becomes something much more complex as the film builds to its shocking third-act climax. One of Fassbinder's most widely recognized films, THE BITTER TEARS OF PETRA VON KANT features deeply affecting performances from regular contributors Carstensen (MOTHER KUSTERS GOES TO HEAVEN) and Schygulla (THE MARRIAGE OF MARIA BRAUN). In adapting his own play for the screen, the devious rebel once again employs his contradictory style, which juxtaposes intense, almost unbearably intimate drama with melodramatic, campy flourishes. The result is an uncomfortable viewing experience, to be sure, but one that tests the boundaries of drama in a way few films ever have.

From the insanely prodigious Rainer Werner Fassbinder, THE BITTER TEARS OF PETRA VON KANT marked an aesthetic shift forward in the visuals for the director, who had been so busy churning out his nearly 40 films (in something like 15 years!) that they were more "shot" than composed and so his newly attuned eye for details -- surfaces, lighting, color, etc. -- created a subtly enhanced intensity, a focus that tightened his highly stylized brand of drama. This disc has been in my personal collection for around 2 years, viewed twice, and is in near excellent condition, with insert in likewise condition. (I will list more Fassbinders shortly.) International bidders are welcome but contact me first for rates. I'll also combine shipping.
