Der plötzliche Reichtum der armen Leute von Kombach
1971 · 1 hr 34 mins
An intriguing Hans Christian Anderson-style fairy tale aesthetic and voice over narration. Sudden Wealth is a despairing chronicle of a group of starving peasants who finally seize governmental wealth like a dysfunctional group of Robin Hood's Merry Men, only to be betrayed by their inescapable selves and systematically dehumanized (think bucolic Orwell) and reprogrammed by what we'll put under the rubric of God and Country.
Director: Volker Schlöndorff
Cast: Georg Lehn, Karl-Josef Cramer, Margarethe von Trotta, Walter Buschhoff, Rainer Werner Fassbinder
