About The Marriage of Maria Braun
In Thomas Ostermeier's stage version of Rainer Werner Fassbinder's film, Maria marries German soldier Hermann Braun during World War II. The couple spend over a decade apart due to forces largely beyond Maria's control. To survive in postwar Germany, she becomes a sex worker, a wealthy industrialist's mistress, and eventually a ruthless capitalist during the German economic miracle, while still asserting her loyalty to Hermann.
Directed by Thomas Ostermeier, Hannes Rossacher, The Marriage of Maria Braun leans on a strong ensemble — Brigitte Hobmeier, Steven Scharf, Jean Pierre Cornu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2008.
