The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant (1972)
Manage episode 422112545 series 3435525
Let me tell you something about movies…MOVIES ARE GAY. They are definitely gay for this month’s theme and how can we do a month like this without some Rainer Werner Fassbinder? We’re discussing what some may consider his masterpiece in this romantic drama from 1972 about a sadist fashion designer and her relationships with the women in her lives. Lovers. Mothers. Daughters. Subs. Based on a play he wrote, Fassbinder’s “THE BITTER TEARS OF PETRA VON KANT” strikes a tone that few movies do and lingers in a way you wish more movies would. Starring Margit Carstensen, Irm Hermann, Katrin Schaake, Eva Mattes and the absolutely stunning Fassbinder muse Hanna Schygulla. Seriously, what a babe. She’s the old woman on the ship deck hanging out with Jerrod Carmichael in “Poor Things”. It’s still a “would” for any self respecting film nerd. Now go get me some goddamn tea.
