Eight Hours Don't Make a Day Arrives in Theaters!

16 Mar, 2018

Eight Hours Don't Make a Day Arrives in Theaters!

Starting today, an important missing piece of Rainer Werner Fassinder's filmography finally snaps into place, as his previously unavailable family epic Eight Hours Don’t Make a Day (1972–73)—his first work for the medium of TV as well as one of his earliest experiments with the form of melodrama—begins its first-ever U.S. theatrical run, at New York’s Film Forum. Over the course of the next two weeks, the newly restored five-part serial will show there in three separate installments, before going on to play engagements across the country. Head over to Criterion's site to see what critics are saying and watch the new trailer!
