In the first part of Fassbinder's postwar trilogy, Maria Braun (Hanna Schygulla) uses her beauty and ambition to prosper during Germany's "economic miracle" of the 1950s. Fassbinder's biggest international box-office success, "The Marriage of Maria Braun" is a heartbreaking study of a woman picking herself up from the ruins of her own life, as well as a metaphorical attack on a society determined to forget its past. Includes: - Audio commentary by Fassbinder cinematographer Michael Ballhaus and renowned filmmaker Wim Wenders - Exclusive video interview with the star of "The Marriage of Maria Braun" and regular Fassbinder collaborator Hanna Schygulla - Video interview with Fassbinder scholar Eric Rentschler
