Second week of Dekaden: Screening of Der Junge Törless and Angst essen Seele auf
All films are for 18 years old and above
Week 2, Sunday, October 23, 2022- 2 PM - Der Junge Törless (Directed by Volker Schlöndorff, 1966)
- 4 PM - Angst essen Seele auf (Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, 1974)
Angst Essen Seele auf revolves around the romance between Emmi, an elderly German cleaning lady with Ali, a much younger than Emmi Moroccan migrant worker (so called Gastarbeiter) in German post WW II. The love story was considered inappropriate by the neighbors, colleagues and even Emmi’s children. But, as we also see in Törless, those people who hold more social or capital power will finally find out the way to accept any inappropriateness, which is through different kind of exploitation.
Confusions fueled by hatred, resulted in pressure and misuse of powers. These two stories of an alleged thief and a representative of social burden of a prosperous society are still indeed reflections of our societies nowadays, where we project our own discontentment to those who are most defenseless group in our proximity.
