As lágrimas amargas de Petra Von Kant

In the year that will mark the 40th anniversary of his debut in Dramstadt, the choice of this play happens by the will to pull it out of the seventies, where the film was fixed, and revises it, forty years later, in a society may equal or perhaps different. This is the first motivation: test, even without a final certainty, changes, and especially to test the depth of those changes.

Fassbinder's work has been labeled melodramatic (in the best sense), strongly emotional genre that perhaps you have allowed to impose daring and violent themes to an audience that could be causing. Incidentally, this is a symbiosis between melodrama and an almost Brechtian distance (through, for example, the stylization of the interpretation or cold environments), that his theater has often been understood."
