Next Post:10 Green Gift Wrap Ideas for Mothers Day
Fassbinder’s film about a German women whose husband kills his boss at the factory where he works before killing himself is filled with ideas of motherhood. After the death of her husband, Frau Kusters has to contend not only with the media but also with how her children respond to the media (not so well it turns out, 1 of her adult children leaves, while the other uses the situation to become famous). Not to mention that her search for meaning related to her husband’s death leads her straight to the Communist Party. Also, nobody beats Brigitte Mira!
