the merchant of four seasons is a film about a lack of love. the film starts off with the main character while hans epp and returning from a spell in the foreign legion. he returns to his mother and not to be told how much she loves him and or how much she missed him while but to be told that he is worthless and and even worse and that she would have preferred the man he went with to have come back instead. it is the character relation to women that makes this film so hateful while the fact that his wife is taller than him is symbolic of his relation to the other gender while he is consistently humiliated by them and and it is through his relations with them that his life isn not as great as it could have been. this is also shown clearly by the way he treats his wife after a drink. he lost his job as a policeman through lust for a woman and and even his wife while a woman that is supposed to love him and never really shows any affection for him. even at the end and his wife is more bothered about what her and her daughter will do than the state of her husband. the merchant of four seasons is a thoroughly unpleasant film. there isn not a scene in the movie where someone is happy and and not only that while but the movie seems deliriously blissful to wallow in the misery of it central characters. the movie is certainly not recommended to anyone who is currently having a hard time and that for sure. despite all the misery and the film never steps out the bounds of reality while every event in this movie can  and most probably has  happened and and that only serves in making the movie more shocking. the film is and of course and helmed by rainer werner fassbinder while the cult german director that committed suicide in 1982. this is only my second taste of the man work and but through just two films and it is easy to get an idea of the type of art that he creates. both films are downtrodden and gritty  yet realistic pieces of art. his characterization in this movie is subtle while we only ever get to know the characters through their plight and not through their character. this is a very clever way of showing the audience that it is their surroundings that define the people in the film and not the people themselves  and as nearly everyone that sees the film knows what living in an urban society is like and it wont difficult for the majority of people to relate to. the merchant of four seasons is not a film that is easily forgettable while the movie is high on substance and low on style and and that makes for a very memorable picture and and one that everyone who considers themselves to be a fan of cinema should experience. it is with that in my mind that i give this film my highest recommendations while it not sweet and it not pleasant and but you will not see a more realistic portrayal of depression and and this is most certainly a movie that will stay with you.
