Featured Screening: The Marriage of Maria Braun at Museum of the Moving Image

Today the Museum of the Moving Image‘s See It Big! Great Cinematographers series features a 35mm print of The Marriage of Maria Braun, one of 15 films Michael Ballhaus photographed for Rainer Werner Fassbinder over the span of a decade that represents one of the most fruitful director-cinematographer collaborations.

Considered one of the best of the 41 films Fassbinder directed during his brief, prolific career, The Marriage of Maria Braun is also probably the most polished and accessible. The film was the first to reteam Fassbinder with actress Hanna Schygulla after their falling out on the set of Effi Briest. She stars as the title character, who remains devoted to her soldier husband despite their only being married for mere hours before he’s sent to fight. When he’s reported dead, Maria begins a romance with an American GI, who she needlessly kills to defend her husband his sudden return. He takes the blame and is sent to prison, at which point Maria seduces a French industrialist, ostensibly to support a lavish lifestyle for her and her husband upon his release. Though supported by some of Fassbinder’s largest production value and framed as a Hollywood-style romance, Maria Braun is, at it’s core, as cynical (and darkly comic) as Fassbinder gets: a profile of cold, calculated manipulation and tragic self-deception that corrupts all the lives in its vicinity.

Though Fassbinder represents an imposing body of work that any cinephile must reckon with sooner or later, The Marriage of Maria Braun is a perfect starting point — and one worth the pilgrimage to Astoria to see on 35mm.

What’s Showing Today? Friday, December 6

Featured Screening: I Am Guilty at MoMA. Guest post by Cosmo Bjorkenheim:

In 1986, Gianni Motti contacted the Italian press with a communiqué claiming responsibility for the NASA disaster involving the Challenger space shuttle, which had exploded 74 seconds after takeoff on January 28, killing everyone on board. The handwritten note detailing the incident displayed a circled black star reminiscent of the Red Brigades, and was accompanied by a photo of Motti in all black and a skimask, holding the front page of La Repubblica with the iconic photograph of the plume of smoke produced by the shuttle’s disintegration. Six years later, Motti claimed responsibility for the 7.4 magnitude earthquake that hit Landers, California on June 28, 1992.

If Michael Haneke had made a movie in 1993 about Gianni Motti as a frustrated teenager, the result would have been the Austrian equivalent of Christoph Hochhäusler’s Falscher Bekenner (2005), another Berlin School meditation on normless life in the historical vacuum of contemporary Germany, playing at the MoMA today at 4:00.

Unlike Motti, the young protagonist of Falscher Bekenner doesn’t frame his confessions as part of his art practice. Armin wants visibility in a world that can only see what he isn’t: proactive, positive, energetic, outgoing—qualities demanded by the corporate labor-market into which he is shunted immediately after graduating from high school. The people he has contact with—worried parents, self-satisfied brothers, indifferent schoolmates—seem to be looking through some sort of thermal goggles that only register friction, and Armin has to rub everyone the wrong way to be noticed at all. He has to make himself into an irritant, an anomaly, and thus he harnesses the media apparatus’s appetite for scandal through anonymous letters in which he confesses to being the culprit behind a series of accidents he has seen on the news.

In effect, the people in Armin’s life (or at the periphery of his life, since the socially atomizing effect of liberal individualism is to render all lives permanently separate) only see the news. What happens is real only insofar as it is covered in the press or expressed in statistics. At an arson site, asking “What happened?” yields only the response, “Read tomorrow’s paper.” At the Christmas family dinner, conversation consists in citing statistics about the incomes of local businesses and the frequency of deaths in traffic accidents. Armin has internalized this way of seeing; when asked to describe himself at a job interview, he gives a police-record description: “174cm, 56kg, blue-grey eyes, blond hair.”

The film is rife with examples of the dominance of statistical rationality. One of Armin’s job interviews is a behavioral test geared toward “measuring [his] immediate reactions” to pictures and words; another proceeds through scrutiny of his test scores from high school. While perusing Armin’s grades, the hiring manager at CurTec expresses the subtext of the whole film: “It’s a bit confusing. How does this all fit together?”

Armin is just as confused about the nature of the pointless economic system he’s supposed to find a place in (when asked why he’s interested in a position at a technology firm, he honestly can’t respond) as he is about his sexual identity (he exchanges blow jobs with members of a local motorcycle gang in a public roadside restroom while privately striving for a conventional hetero relationship with a girl from school). This general confusion is even registered on the level of narrative logic: Armin’s parents walk in on him hooking up with a leather-clad biker in his room, excluding the plausibility of the subsequent scenes of domestic normality.

Like many of his Berlin School comrades, Hochhäusler uses elements from the classic genres without committing to their structures. He has said that the motorcycle gang is borrowed from Westerns. Like Indians on the frontier, the bikers represent “the foreign, the wild, for which one yearns.” They are mysterious and anonymous; their faces are hardly ever shown and they never speak. Hochhäusler points out that even in the most realistic Westerns “the Indians are always depicted in totally unrealistic fashion,” but here they are hardly represented at all, no more than as phantoms produced by Armin’s desire. Henry Brandon’s fake-baked Comanche chieftain in The Searchers is a complex character by comparison. –Cosmo Bjorkenheim

Tonight is the first evening of Mono No Aware, an annual weekend of epic expanded cinema performance and film installation drawing artists and attendees from the international experimental film community. Admission is free, and screenings begin at 8:00 pm sharp. Tonight’s artists include Bruce McClure, Magical Approach, Mike Morris, Jodie Mack, and Joel Schlemowitz.

Tonight BAMcinématek‘s Aleksei Balabanov series includes Cargo 200, described as “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre transposed to the 1980s USSR.” The 35mm screening runs at 4:30 and 9:30 pm.

My fingers reeled against the keyboard as I typed the series name Ben Stiller Directs; apparently our offering this fall wasn’t bountiful enough to appease the movie gods, so this is a thing that’s happening to us now. (…Why didn’t I go to more of those Aleksei German movies? I’ll make it to all the Liv & Ingmars, I swear. Just please don’t let them be on DCP.) –Jon Dieringer

Featured Screening: Mauvais Sang at Film Forum

Leos Carax‘s second feature Mauvais Sang, a bewitching and idiosyncratic romantic thriller, has been held over for another week at Film Forum.

Career-spanning collator Dennis Lavant stars as Alex, a young man persuaded to replace his deceased father in a small gang of aging gangsters. A disease with gruesome symptoms threatens France’s population, and anyone who makes love without emotion becomes afflicted. The outfit’s mission is to launch a heist to capture the vaccine and sell it to repay a mysterious American blackmailer. In joining them, Alex leaves behind his devoted girlfriend Julie Delpy only to become entranced by reticent beauty Juliette Binoche—who happens to be the discarded, yet still-faithful, mistress of one of the his fellow gang members.

Plot summary does little to evoke the film’s singular texture, a pastiche of German expressionism, neo-French-noir, breathless romanticism, Godardian digressions, Hitchockian machinations and Chaplinesque feats of expressive physical performance by Levant. Meanwhile, Binoche wordlessly steals scenes with her inscrutable, quixotic presence. The camera work also dazzles with stark silhouettes, rich colors, and dynamic framings and juxtapositions that suggest manga more than any preceding cinematic reference at hand. Narrative and logic undeniably recede into the manic shuffle, but its an intoxicating trip for those willing to take the plunge into the kind of movie that offers up an unspeakably gorgeous skydiving sequence seemingly for the hell of it (…to say nothing of it’s iconic, cathartic dance scene set to David Bowie’s “Modern Love”).

Mauvais Sang runs at 1:00, 3:10, 5:20, 7:30, and 9:40 through December 12.

Anthology Film Archives‘ stag film series In the Flesh begins tonight with future Friday the 13th Part V director Danny Steinmann‘s High Rise, plainly-stated in the program description as “a masterpiece.” Composer Jack Urbont is in attendance, because, let’s be real: you watch porno for the wah-wah guitars.

Simultaneously, Anthology also presents a series of “Third Cinema” from the post-Spanish Civil War Latin American filmmaking diaspora. How to be in two theaters in the same cinema at once…?

And tonight is the final evening of Spectacle‘s New Irish Underground Cinema series, which represents a movement of prolific young filmmakers heretofore almost completely unheralded in North America. The work so far has been incredibly assured in tone, pointing to new directions in Irish cinema. This final evening represents work by all four filmmakers, Rouzbeh Rashidi, Maximilian Le Cain, Dean Kavanagh and Michael Higgins.
