Eight hours are not a day is a German five-part television series by Rainer Werner Fassbinder . It was produced by Westdeutscher Rundfunk and broadcast from 1972 to 1973.
description
In the series, Fassbinder depicts the everyday work and private life of a group of toolmakers . Jochen, portrayed by Gottfried John and Marion ( Hanna Schygulla ), employees of a daily newspaper, are a couple who want to get married. There are various social hot spots around the two of them, such as participation , usury, and prejudice against guest workers .
With the proletarian television series, Fassbinder deliberately set an antithesis to the television "Heile Welt" series of the time. In an elliptical narrative style, it realistically shows the everyday work of self-confident workers. He spreads a positive, encouraging mood in all conflicts and difficulties of the protagonists.
The five episodes are set in Cologne and were filmed in Cologne and in a factory in Mönchengladbach . Filming locations in Cologne included a. a (no longer existing) vending machine passage in Mittelstrasse, Café Eigel in Brückenstrasse, Deutzer Brücke, a pedestrian bridge at the Severinstrasse tram stop and a residential area north of Kalker Hauptstrasse. With the series, Hanna Schygulla first became known to a larger audience.
The film title became a household word in German-speaking countries to express that life is more than just (dependent) work.
