The Marriage of Maria Braun 15
During the waning days of WWII, Maria marries a German soldier named Hermann Braun the day before he returns to war, only for him to mysteriously disappear. Following his assumed-death, an ambitious Maria is forced to pick herself up amidst the gritty world of post-war Germany and will use her beauty and intelligence uncompromisingly to find her feet.
The Marriage of Maria Braun elevated a deserving Fassbinder to International acclaim and its poignant revelations about post-war German society coupled with stark atmosphere and captivating visuals would lead to it becoming Fassbinder’s biggest box-office success.
