A Conversation With the Filmmakers of 'When Men Were Men'
Hours before their line-up of screenings for Trans Awareness Week began, the filmmakers of 'When Men Were Men' chatted with me about the film's personal exploration of masculinity.
Outskirts
Along the railroad tracks in Halle-Trotha, where city and countryside merge, people live on the outskirts of the city. Far away from the urban center, they spend their everyday lives between factories and ruins, supermarkets and wild nature. While Wolfgang is stranded on the river with his boat and has found a new home here, Wilma and Eberhard Schneider have lived on the outskirts of the city since childhood. A few houses away, a Buddhist meditates in a converted factory building. Sometimes the smell of the dog food factory is in the air and the clattering of the horse-drawn carriage echoes through the streets. "Stadtrand" tells of a place that is rarely noticed and yet everyone knows it.

It’s easy to dismiss Joel and Ethan Coen for writing from the world they build from outside the box of overarching Hollywood stereotypes, but their inability to compromise their collective vision is precisely what makes the simplistic nature of their world-building and characters so brilliant. It’s also what led Fargo to collect seven Oscar nominations and two wins for Best Original Screenplay and Best Actress for Frances McDormand’s brilliant portrayal of the sincere, motherly detective whose wholesome demeanor seizes the day over the selfishness, corruption and evil of the men who don’t comprehend that there’s more to life than a little money.
