Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Arthouse or convention?
I've had a difficult time trying to digest Fassbinder. As congenially as I can process his work-- ugly, obvious and shrill as humanity itself (I consider 'Why Does Herr R. Run Amok?' his seminal accomplishment)-- I figure he falls somewhere between Godard and Corman. His insatiable need to press on to the next work, granted his inability to focus on the current one, is well documented and it shows in 'Martha,' most apparently in his lack of attention to dramatic structure.

This movie is as unique as CALIGULA.
YOU'LL LAUGH TILL YOU DROP (!!!).

Rating: - Fassbinder is at his best in Martha.
Rainer Werner Fassbinder's Martha deserves a wide and appreciative audience. This film demonstrates the power of the visual image to tell a story completely. If you do not speak German and you turn off the subtitles, my guess is that you will understand most of the story just by watching closely what happens. Fassbinder's creative use of the camera to dramatize important moments of the plot development and his placement of his actors in each carefully constructed scene support and dramatize the ...
