Movie Description
When Emma Kusters' husband, a low-level factory laborer, snaps on the job, killing his foreman and sacrificing his own body to the machinery, it leaves her alone and the focus of a feud between the liberals and conservatives of the German government. As the political battle heat up, Emma faces the intrusion of a hypocritical leftist couple who insinuates themselves into her life in order to make a political example of her personal loss. Fassbinder's satire of liberal Socialism and his critical view of the German political system in the film was so scathing and controversial that it was banned from the Berlin Film Festival.

Industry Reviews
"...[Fassbinder] refuses to make films that are like anyone else's....A witty, spare, beautifully performed political comedy..."
