“I pick also that one of my favorite Maria Maria Braun Fassbinder.”

“The Fassbinder box set — Lola, The Marriage of Maria Braun, Veronica Voss — is a real great special collection. He was a postwar German young filmmaker with radical ideas who reinvented and fused new life into melodrama, family dramas, and postwar dramas. It's a great introduction to German cinema from this time period.”
