1974
Drama
TV Movie
1h 41m
Fassbinder's version of Ibsen's A Doll's House for television develops a radical yet scrupulous reading of the play. Stripped of sentimentality and giving Nora (Carstensen) self-assurance from the start, this studio production delivers its critique of bourgeois marriage with a force rarely matched even in the theatre. Almost every scene is shot through latticework, net curtains, cut glass, ornate mirrors, so that the characters are perhaps visually obscured but always intellectually focused. (Time Out)

The son of German comic performer Ludwig Manfred Lommel, Ulli Lommel began his career in show business as a child. His older sister, Ruth Lommel, appeared in a number of films in the 1940s and '50s. After appearing in several features, Ulli Lommel met Rainer Werner Fassbinder and joined his acting/production entourage. While working with Fassbinder, Lommel turned to directing as well as performing. His output has ranged from brilliantly accomplished drama with traces of exploitation elements, to out-and-out B-movies with a few distinctive artistic flourishes.

It's a sophisticated relationship drama where nothing is trivial, but Nora is no more likable or relatable than Torvald, and caring about their external and mutual strife was a struggle for me. The compositions frequently obscuring the characters behind the white latticework are the most interesting thing about it; it doesn't feel like prime Ibsen or Fassbinder.

Estreava há 50 anos na Alemanha. Casa de bonecas é um dos textos mais importantes do século XIX, Nora é quase uma anti-Madame Bovary em seu proto-feminismo e essa versão do Fassbinder para a peça talvez seja a mais interessante de todas. Em primeiro lugar ele dá o nome da protagonista ao filme e deixa transparecer que é uma casa de bonecas através da câmera, como se estivéssemos espiando os espaços. Plus, Margit é a Nora perfeita para ser transposta cem anos depois, pós revolução sexual. PirateB
