ABOUT THE BOXSET:
By the age of thirty-four, German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder had directed already twenty-two feature films. In 1978, he embarked upon a project to trace the history of postwar Germany in a series of films told through the eyes of three remarkable women. Fassbinder's The Marriage of Maria Braun, Lola, and Veronika Voss -- the BRD (Bundesrepublik Deutschland) Trilogy -- would garner him the international acclaim he had always yearned for and place his name foremost in the canon of New German Cinema.

DISC TWO
Die Ehe Der Maria Braun
------------------
THE MARRIAGE OF MARIA BRAUN
http://www.criterion.com/films/592
1978, 120 min.
Maria (Hanna Schygulla) marries Hermann Braun in the last days of World War II, only to have him disappear in the war. Alone, Maria uses her beauty and ambition to prosper in Germany's "economic miracle" of the 1950's. 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 metaphorical attack on a society determined to forget its past.
