Munich, in the mid-70s: She enters the exotic bar because it's raining and maybe because she's a little curious what this place with that strange music is like. He asks her for a dance because his friends tell him to do so. He accompanies her home. He stays for the night. The fall in love. They marry.

(展开全部) Munich, in the mid-70s: She enters the exotic bar because it's raining and maybe because she's a little curious what this place with that strange music is like. He asks her for a dance because his friends tell him to do so. He accompanies her home. He stays for the night. The fall in love. They marry.
All that sounds like your average Hollywood romance. But that's only half the story of 'Fear Eats the Soul'. Here's the other half: She, Emmi Kurowski, is a 60 year old, widowed cleaner, mother of three married children. He, Ali, is a black foreign worker from Morocco, 20 years younger than her, speaking a rather bad German (a more faithful translation of the German original title 'Angst essen Seele auf', a quote from Ali, would be 'Fear Eat Soul'). This film is not a cheesy romance, it is the story of two people who love each other and struggle with the rest of the world to be accepted.
But the people around them have problems. The neighbors are talking about them, Emmi's colleagues ignore her, the merchant refuses to serve them, and Emmi's children don't want to understand it - her son Bruno even destroys the TV set in his anger.
Rainer Werner Fassbinder is arguably the greatest German director ever, and with more than 40 films, TV series, TV films plus 16 theater plays he wrote, directed and often also (co-)starred in in a career that lasted only a mere 15 years, he is certainly one of the most efficient directors in film history. His best films are a criticism of German society after World War II by simple, but memorable stories with very well observed characters. And 'Fear Eats the Soul' displays Fassbinder's qualities best. In very simple shots (facial expressions, the use doors to stress the loneliness of his characters), he makes this films very emotional.
The film is sometimes described as naive. That's wrong. Maybe it is naive to believe that a 60 year old widow and a black 40 year old worker will fall in love. But the rest is as well-observed as a film can be: The fact that people's reactions change when they realize that it's easier to accept them and take advantage of them. That Emmi eagerly joins her colleagues as soon as they have found a new victim. That Ali goes to the waitress of his bar to get the two things Emmi can't give him - sex and his favorite dish.
And then the film has some amazing acting. But from the entire cast, Brigitte Mira as Emmi Kurowski stands out. Actually a comedic actress, she shines in this drama as a woman who struggles for acceptance. Her speech outside a restaurant, when all the waiters stare at them but don't serve them, is heartbreaking, her entire performance is unforgettable.
At first sight, 'Fear Eats the Soul' is a small, simple romantic film. But look closer and you'll see it is so much more, it is a comment on subliminal prejudices and selfishness. It shows what a film can do, even if its budget is tiny, if it only believes in the power of its story.

fear eats soul

- 欢乐分裂(从今以后) 原来很不习惯德语的硬邦邦,但现在也习惯了,更何况是法斯宾德的作品。本片荣获1974戛纳电影节FIPRESCI双周奖以及普通评审团奖. 60岁的清洁女工埃米与外籍工人阿里认识了,两个社会中的弱势群体产生了相濡以沫的感情,一个是面临老年的底层女工,一个是来自第三世界的外籍劳工(极受歧视),对于他们的结合,周围人都不约而同...... (3回应)2006-05-31 9/9有用

法氏“最好最美”的影片
-
- 寒山子 “阿里覺得很孤單,除了工作、喝酒,沒有別的事可干。也許德國人說得對,阿拉伯人不是人……” “還能花時間在什麽事上呢?只有工作,日復一日,年復一年,等到一天,突然,一切就都結束了……” 除了黑澤明的《生之欲》,這是第二次看到如此動人的關於老人的電影。確切地說,是關於一個異鄉人和一個老人。 ......2007-10-12 1/1有用
《恐惧吞噬灵魂》:异国忘年老妻少夫恋
-
- 点点(时而有些伤感) 在法斯宾德诸多电影中,《恐惧吞噬灵魂》仅仅花费了2个星期的拍摄时间,初衷更是作为一次电影制作技法的试练,为了之后所要拍摄的《玛尔塔》与《寂寞芳心》。但万万没想到,此片成为了法斯宾德又一部杰作。 《恐惧吞噬灵魂》的剧情简单,题旨却非常尖锐,虽说拍摄年代仅在1974年,然后女大男小加上外籍劳工的话题,放在今天来看,仍然充......2009-05-14
