Hanna Schygulla interview....
I would highly recommend that those of you who saw this film in a theatre rent the DVD. It has a wonderful interview with the star Hanna Schygulla. She talks about her history as an actress and the influence director Fassbinder had on her career. She is an extremely intelligent women and is very open in this interview. It gives much insight into her life, her work and the character Maria. It made me understand the film in a whole new light that I didn't get from watching the film alone.
