Married for barely a day during World War II, the widowed Maria Braun is forced to survive on her own. She becomes strong and cruel, sad and indomitable, so loyal to her husband that she kills for him, and so pitiless to her lover of many years that she drives him to death. Fassbinder's biggest international box-office success and the first part of his "postwar trilogy," The Marriage of Maria Braun is a heartbreaking study of a woman picking herself up from the ruins of her own life as well as a pointed attack on a society determined to forget its past. In German with English subtitles. Rated R. 120 minutes. West Germany (1979)

Presented by: Peggy Setje-Eilers, Assistant Professor of German, Germanic & Slavic Languages Department. Dir: Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Admission is FREE and open to the public. Funding provided in part by Germanic & Slavic Languages Department. Presenters will provide an introduction and facilitate post-screening discussion for each film. Sarratt Cinema is located on the first floor of the Sarratt Student Center at Vanderbilt University.
