Cineclube de Joane programme (There are no Cinephiles left?!, Fassbinder, master of melodrama)
Small Auditorium | 21h45
Admission: 4 euros | Free for members of Cineclube de Joane | Original title: Händler der vier Jahreszeiten (Germany,1971) | Directed by: Rainer Werner Fassbinder | Cast: Hans Hirschmüller, Irm Hermann, Hanna Schygulla, Klaus Löwitsch | Rating: M/16 | Duration: 90 min
A man returns home and tries to rebuild his working and married life by becoming a fruit merchant with the help of his wife and another man a few years after the end of the war. In one of the best films of Fassbinder's entire work, inspired by the life of one of his uncles, this small set of characters will offer a human and fulminating look at the ghosts, divisions, violence and self-destruction of a society, and its citizens, trying to live with a past irreconcilable with life itself. A defining work in post-war European cinema and in Fassbinder's career.
