Description
Cast: Brigitte Mira, Margit Carstensen, Ingrid Caven
In another memorable lead, Fassbinder mainstay Mira is the title character, a hausfrau who loses her husband in a violent incident and eventually finds herself exploited by both left- and right-wing groups, as well as the media and her own family. One of the most underrated films of the New German Cinema, the politically-charged Mother Küsters is more relevant now than ever.
