"A deliciously perverse rendition of Madame Bovary, The Station Master's Wife is one of Fassbinder's most entertaining films. Set in a small Bavarian town in pre-Hitler Germany, the film features Kurt Raab as the Stationmaster Bolwieser, a man sexually enslaved by his beautiful wife Hanni, a woman of uncontrollable passion. Soon bored with both her husband and life at the train station, Hanni embarks on a series of adulterous affairs, while the deluded Bolwieser grows progressively sullen and glum. The Stationmaster's Wife is a haunting exploration of desire and betrayal, with a radiantly lusty performance by Elisabeth Trissenaar."--Container.
