THE MERCHANT OF FOUR SEASONS
Sunday, Feb 1 -- 7pm only

A meditation on urban malaise
The story of a fruit peddler who watches his unexceptional life disintegrate -- sounds like a slice-of-life melodrama gone slightly amok, but the treatment is everything: a virtuoso balance of soap opera, social comedy, irony, politics, farce, and brilliant ensemble acting.
Germany, 1972, German with English subtitles, Color, 88 min, Unrated.
