| Description: | Marfa Book Co. Monday Night Movies Program 59 8 November 2022 | 8:00 pm sharp | byob Leave an Obligation at the Door Why Does Herr R. Run Amok? Rainer Werner Maria Fassbinder & Michael Fengler, 1970, 88' "Twenty-two scenes in the life of Herr R. (the R. stands for Raab-Kurt Raab, this film's star, and one of Fassbinder's most constant collaborators from the Antitheater group days). He's a draftsman for an architectural office, provider and patriarch for a family comprised of one willowy Teutonic wife (Lilith Ungerer) and a young son. The title is sarcastic; boxed-in Herr R., who even makes his living by drawing walls (he prefers doing the windows), has no opportunity to run amok-his chartered life is divided into dull blocks of obligation: coffee breaks, company get-togethers, weekend afternoons with the parents, after-school conferences with teachers, doctor appointments. |
