DESCRIPTION:
- New German Cinema icon Rainer Werner Fassbinder (World on a Wire) kicked off a new phase of his young career when he made the startling The Merchant of Four Seasons.ÿIn this despairing yet mordantly funny film, Fassbinder charts the decline of a self-destructive former policeman and war veteran struggling to make ends meet for his family by working as a fruit vendor. Fassbinder had skyrocketed to renown on the acclaim of a series of trenchant, quickly made early films, but for this one he took more time and forged a new style-featuring a more complexly woven script and narrative structure and more sophisticated use of the camera, and influenced by the work of his recently discovered idol, Douglas Sirk. The result is a meticulously made, unforgiving social satire.Blu-ray SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESÿ New 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack Audio commentary featuring filmmaker Wim Wenders New interviews with actors Irm Hermann and Hans Hirschm쳌ller New interview with film scholar Eric Rentschler New English subtitle translation PLUS: An essay by film scholar Thomas Elsaesser
