Der Bräutigam, die Komödiantin und der Zuhälter
Danièle Huillet, Jean-Marie Straub
BRD 1968
23 min
Accepting an invitation by Fassbinder, Straub staged a strongly condensed version of Ferdinand Bruckner's play \"Krankheit der Jugend\" in Munich's Action-Theater. It is a \"film-within-a-film\" with a documentary-style introduction, a real chase and the only murder to be found in the Straubs' and Huillet's body of work. And this murder is a truly tremendous and tender escape act.
This film is screened together with Le Genou d'Artemide and Le Streghe – femmes entre elles.
