It's first episode for one of our theme song directors! And one of your hosts went a little overboard getting up to speed with the works of Rainer Werner Fassbender. Honestly, a lot of the typical second-half of the twentieth century European auteur themes come up in this film except now we have a decade spanning domestic drama exploring of postwar…femininity. Hanna Schygulla plays the eponymous heroine, navigating the obstacles of survival in post World War II Germany as she fiercely waits and prepares for the return of her husband and then his release from prison.

If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing Agnieszka Smoczynska's The Lure (2015).
