If you loved Le Mariage de Maria Braun, try Tous les autres s'appellent Ali
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Le Mariage de Maria Braun, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Tous les autres s'appellent Ali is
Fassbinder liked to push buttons; here, he pushes generational and racial ones. A German cleaning woman marries a much younger Moroccan guest worker she meets in a bar. Bigotry ensues, though maybe the couple's own issues would have sunk them anyway.
