{"product_id":"715515213011","title":"Baal (Blu-ray)","description":"\u003cp\u003eVolker Schlöndorff transported Bertolt Brecht’s 1918 debut play to contemporary West Germany for this vicious experiment in adaptation, seldom seen for nearly half a century. Oozing with brutish charisma, Rainer Werner Fassbinder embodies the eponymous anarchist poet, who feels that bourgeois society has rejected him and sets off on a schnapps-soaked rampage. Hewing faithfully to Brecht’s text, Schlöndorff juxtaposes the theatricality of the prose with bare-bones, handheld 16 mm camera work, which gives immediacy to this savage story of rebellion. Featuring a supporting cast drawn from Fassbinder’s troupe of theater actors that also includes Margarethe von Trotta, \"Baal\" demonstrates the uncompromising vision of its director, a trailblazer of the New German Cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cinema 1 Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44865126563919,"sku":"715515213011","price":53.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/2787\/5407\/files\/715515213011_e1b53e65-e329-4688-8139-0d721a90969b.jpg?v=1773760097","url":"https:\/\/cinema1.ca\/products\/715515213011","provider":"Cinema 1 Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
