Eight Hours Don’t Make a Day
Acht Stunden sind kein Tag (original)
Commissioned to make a working-class family drama for public television, up-and-coming director Rainer Werner Fassbinder took the assignment and ran, dodging expectations by depicting social realities in West Germany from a critical—yet far from cynical—perspective. Over the course of five episodes, the sprawling story tracks the everyday triumphs and travails of the young toolmaker Jochen and many of the people populating his world, including the woman he loves, his eccentric family, and his fellow workers, with whom he bands together to improve conditions on the factory floor.
Starring Gottfried John, Hanna Schygulla, Luise Ullrich, Werner Finck, Wolfried Lier, Irm Hermann, Kurt Raab, Herb Andress, Rudolf Waldemar Brem, Wolfgang Zerlett
