Why Does Herr R. Run Amok? (1970)

Why Does Herr R. Run Amok? (1970)

Warum läuft Herr R. Amok, 1970 Reiner Werner Fassbinder


Le titre et l'extrême monotonie du film anticipent le destin fatal, la folie. M. Raab est un anti-héros qui a la vie commune d'un homme de la classe moyenne, l'allemand. Ses passions génèrent de la pitié et de la nostalgie. Lentement, ils révèlent différents facteurs de sa vie, sa mère curieuse, la relation qu’il entretient avec sa femme, avec ses collègues de travail, et rien n’est passionnant, tout est plat, cette monotonie qui grandit est insupportable et constitue un la répression qui mène à la folie et à l'effondrement total. ce qui est surprenant mais pas complètement éloigné d’une réalité possible.

L'ennui est insupportable, et la photographie parvient à générer ce sentiment, de longues séquences de photos dans lesquelles rien ne se passe, la caméra à la main suggère que quelque chose va se passer, son aspect pratique implique que le personnage soit suivi car il bouge, bouge beaucoup, cependant rien ne se passe et il n'y a personne à suivre et cette attente insatisfaite génère encore plus d’ennui, peu de couleurs, des lumières blanches qui tendent vers le bleu, les salles ennuyeuses donnent également un sens.

Bien que je pense que la signification du film va à l’exploration psychologique et mentale qui mène à la folie, je peux aussi croire que c’est une critique sociale de l’homme allemand ordinaire, qui garde en lui les ravages de la guerre et un potentiel de mal.

++++++++++++++

The title and the extreme monotony of the film anticipate fatal fate, madness. Mr. Raab is an anti-hero who shares the life of a middle-class man, German. His passions generate pity and nostalgia. Slowly, they reveal different factors of his life, his mother curious, the relationship he has with his wife, with his colleagues at work, and nothing is exciting, everything is flat, this monotony that grows is unbearable and constitutes a the repression that leads to madness and total collapse. which is surprising but not completely removed from a possible reality.

Boredom is unbearable, and photography manages to generate this feeling, long sequences of photos in which nothing happens, the camera in hand suggests that something will happen, its practical aspect implies that the character is followed because it moves, moves a lot, however nothing happens and there is nobody to follow and this unfulfilled expectation generates even more trouble, few colors, white lights that tend to blue, boring rooms also give a meaning.

Although I think that the meaning of the film goes to the psychological and mental exploration that leads to madness, I can also believe that it is a social criticism of the ordinary German man, who keeps the ravages of the war in him and a potential for harm.

The French Trailer for Lili Marleen by Rainer Werner Fassbinder


The French Trailer for Lili Marleen by Rainer Werner Fassbinder

Non-associative meanderings and musings from the sofa by Kevin Dayhoff

February 9, 2009

I had the music and art of “Cold Play” in my head all day. With that in mind, I was was roaming around YouTube this evening. While I was surfing, watching and listening, I came across “Coldplay_Trouble.” It can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwGHQ6WyQFU.


The clip immediately reminded me of Hans-Jürgen Syberberg’s “Requiem für einen jungfräulichen König,” (“Ludwig - Requiem for a Virgin King” – June 23, 1972) - - and other practitioners of the “New German Cinema,” such as Wim Wenders, Volker Schlöndorff, and Werner Herzog.

I settled upon looking for clips by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, May 31, 1945 – June 10, 1982. He remains one of my all-time favorite directors, in a list that on any given day, can be cluttered, complicated, and crowded.

Of course, when one thinks of Mr. Fassbinder, the words cluttered, complicated and crowded, come immediately to mind...

This is perhaps a better way of saying that he led a life of constant strife and controversy in which he managed to offend anything, everything and everybody on any given day.

Even saying that one likes the work of the Mr. Fassbinder is controversial. Oh well, sometimes art is art… Whatever.

Wallace Watson wrote in 1992, in “The Bitter Tears of RWF,” that Mr. Fassbinder “did little to discourage the personalized nature of the attacks on himself and his work. He seemed to provoke them by his aggressively anti-bourgeois lifestyle, symbolized in his black leather jacket, battered hat, dark glasses and perennial scowl.”

The prolific filmmaker died at the all-too-young-age of 36; after maintaining an impossibly frenetic pace in which he created over forty films in 15 years.

Among my many favorite Fassbinder movies, certainly “Love is Colder than Death” (1969); “The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant” (1972); “Berlin Alexanderplatz: (1980); “The Marriage of Maria Braun” (1978); “Ali: Fear Eats the Soul” (1974) and “Lili Marleen” compete for my most favorite.

The YouTube video pasted below is the French trailer from Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s 1981 classic “Lili Marleen.” (The movie is based upon the autobiography of Lale Andersen: “Der Himmel hat viele Farben.”

This movie showcases a stellar performance by Hanna Schygulla, which along with her performance in “The Marriage of Maria Braun,” is one of her best.

“Lili Marleen” also includes great performances by Giancarlo Giannini, Mel Ferrer,Udo Kier and Barbara Valentin.
