About
Mother Küsters Goes to Heaven

Neither of the two alternative endings is satisfying, both seem rushed, but other than that the film can be regarded as a brilliant homage to the German Lefist films of Weimar Republic such as "Mother Krause's Journey to Happiness" and "Kuhle Wampe". Fassbinder's look at the possibilities of communism is obviously defined by the experience of APO and RAF and thus more incredulous than the films mentioned above.
