Bolwieser (1977) [Theatrical Cut] AKA The Stationmaster's Wife

4.5
(11)

A deliciously perverse rendition of Madame Bovary, The Stationmaster’s Wife is one of Fassbinder’s most entertaining films. Set in a small Bavarian town in pre-Hitler Germany, the film features Kurt Raab as the Stationmaster Bolwieser, a man sexually enslaved by his beautiful wife Hanni, a woman of uncontrollable passion. Soon bored with both her husband and life at the train station, Hanni embarks on a series of adulterous affairs, while the deluded Bolwieser grows progressively sullen and glum. The Stationmaster’s Wife is a haunting exploration of desire and betrayal, with a radiantly lusty performance by Elisabeth Trissenaar.

    Great great film, I love Ballhaus’ photography and Kurt Raab’s over-the-top acting. And the music! BTW I’d give my right nut to see the 2-patr TV version.

      There’s a good chance someone will finish making English subs for the TV version in the coming weeks/months, stay tuned! 😉
