{"product_id":"715515146715","title":"The Merchant of Four Seasons (DVD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eNew German Cinema icon Rainer Werner Fassbinder kicked off a new phase of his young career when he made the startling The Merchant of Four Seasons. In this anguished yet mordantly funny film, Fassbinder charts the decline of a self-destructive former policeman and war veteran struggling to make ends meet for his family by working as a fruit vendor. Fassbinder had gained acclaim for a series of trenchant, quickly made early films, but for this one he took more time and forged a new style—featuring a more complexly woven script and narrative structure and more sophisticated use of the camera, and influenced by the work of his recently discovered idol, Douglas Sirk. The result is a meticulously made, unforgiving social satire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cinema 1 Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44894847991887,"sku":"715515146715","price":32.97,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/2787\/5407\/files\/715515146715_06b19a5a-eece-4ef2-bec5-18aa0c9ae868.jpg?v=1773844189","url":"https:\/\/cinema1.ca\/products\/715515146715","provider":"Cinema 1 Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
