The Merchant of Four Seasons |

[Händler der vier Jahreszeiten] 1972 - Germany Director Starring |
This is what Olmi would be stripped of his romance! Our poor brow-beaten, brute of a barrow-boy stumbles through a life of innocent mistakes and broken dreams, brought low by his nagging mother, second-best wife and social constraints. All very exaggerated and theatrical, produced back-to-back with Petra Von Kant (how I wish for a true male companion piece to Petra!). One of my favorite Schygulla performances in a supporting role as a sort of voice of morality or reason. |
