  • In the shadow of the Berlin Wall, a group of radical young filmmakers released a manifesto challenging the popular image of German cinema as a tool for propaganda. Will Web looks at the work of three of influential directors who emerged from that movement: #RainerWernerFassbinder, #WernerHerzog, and #WimWenders.

    Fassbender, Herzog, and Winders couldn't be more different from each other. It makes a fascinating study in a movement.

      It's weird how I read an article where Herzog said he didn't like Fassbinder specifically because of his politics. Herzog called Fassbinder "bourgeoisie " which wasn't really true. Fassbinder's parents were basically middle class but by the time he was born they were living out of an apartment near the Red Light district in Munich and then later divorced so Fassbinder was raised by a single mother. There was nothing "bourgeoisie" about him other than that his parents where more cultured than Herzog's.
      I find it insane that he "didn't like Fassbinder's politics" because the politics of Herzog and Fassbinder films is basically the same in that it warned people against snake-oil salesmen selling people the idea of revolution but in the end just giving them Fascism.
      If anything the real bourgeoisie fake revolutionary he should have been criticizing was Jean-Luc Godard.

    As a German it is sad what happend to our movie industry over the years. 100 years ago our ancestors ruled the silent game and even in the 70s and 80s german films where great like you said in this video.
    Today only a few productions can get on that level.
    I wish we could banish Til Schweiger, Uwe Boll etc. and their movies from Germany...

    it's such a great video, I'm not a huge fan of German cinema however, some German filmmakers attract me, one of them is Werner Herzog because of the way he makes movies, and documentaries. If i could choose one of his documentaries, it would be "My best fied", which is about what it was like working with Klaus Kinski.

    Where did you learn all this information? How do film movements start? How does one analyze a film through this lens? They say
    Film doesn’t exist in a vacuum yet often (for me) it seems it does. All these new waves popping up. It seems that WW2 was the genesis. What dictates which film techniques would be use for the films? Is it like Dogma 95 where they have rules? Or do all these filmmakers just naturally coincidentally wind up using all the same techniques? Also where can one learn all this info and is it bad that I can’t pick up on the techniques while watching the film? Am I supposed to get it on a first watch through or should I do research after\before the film?

    • @Indietrix

      We’ve made a few videos on film movements and to be honest they’re all quite different. Dogme 95 was a deliberate attempt to start a film movement and came with a strict set of defined rules; Australian New Wave was mostly the result of government subsidy; and cinema du look was really a few different filmmakers responding to new film techniques. Sometimes, like New German Cinema, it’s really a way of organising our understanding of a few filmmakers who worked at the same time and responded to some of the same historical circumstances.
      RE: picking up on these movements, director techniques etc- watch lots of movies, analyse them, and read film criticism alongside it to help you pick stuff up.

    Good video, although the pronunciation of the names was way off.

    These themes in cinema/TV and must have had an impact on the German consciousness. An air of palpable despondence was common among West German males in the 1980s, as if they were still atoning for sins of their fathers. It was disheartening to see such strong, bright and productive people on the ropes.

    That’s probably the worst pronunciation I’ve ever heard of Fassbinders three names lol

      Fassbinder's "Marriage of Maria Braun" (Die Ehe der Maria Braun")

    Actually german cinema sucks. It's probably the worst if you'd compare it nationwise. There are only a handful of films you can enjoy between the silent era and the 80s-90's. The rest is just very bed. I can think of only Haneke at the present who is one of the best, who is not even german; but let's say german-speaking if willing to push the borders.
