The Merchant Of Four Seasons

Rainer Werner Fassbinder - 1971
Known as Fassbinder's first real advance in the melodrama tragedy. On grimy, clearly low budget sets there is a lot of SRS (though never unconsidered), zooming in. There are nice framings as our merchant spies on others, and circlung camera movements that can tell us much.
Structurally, this is a pretty brutal attack on the principles of exchange that ruin the lives of its characters, who are in one way or another cruel to each other, though there is surely empathy there. The edit flits between time frames, often not too clearly, but it does give a general sense of an environment of quiet horror.
