WEDDING (BALLADE ZWEIER BRAUTEN)

WEDDING (THE BALLAD OF THE TWO BRIDES)

Country: Italy
Year: 1995
Duration: 8'


The ballad of the two brides. In the Brecht text that the film comments on, there are two sisters who are both named Anna and are so different that they practically make up only one person. Wedding tells of how the two brides get dressed, even though they are not going to any altar. The reason is that it is right that it is like this, even it is hard... the reason why women get married alone is the same as the reason why they have always gotten married: even for love.
