His utterly helpless wife, Mother K&uuml;sters (Brigitte Mira), faces a catastrophe. Her son (Armin Meier) and his wife (Irm Hermann) do not want to be publicly associated with the \"factory killer.\" Mother K&uuml;sters's daughter Corinna (Ingrid Caven), singer in a nightclub, uses the unexpected publicity to advance her career. A reporter (Gottfried John) writes a denunciatory article. The only people who support Mother K&uuml;sters are communists Karl (Karlheinz B\u00c3\u00b6hm) and his wife Marianne (Margit Carstensen). Mother K&uuml;sters feels that they take her seriously, but her hopes that her husband might be publicly rehabilitated are in vain. She turns to an \"anarchist\" (Matthias Fuchs) for help. An almost impossibly touching portrayal of a working-class woman entangled in web of unwanted media attention and politics. Fassbinder reluctantly shot a special, more \"optimistic\" ending for American audiences, but later fell in love with it, claiming it to be far more poignant and effective.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <em>[source: <a HREF=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2015\/04\/mother-kusters-goes-to-heaven\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2015-Jun-8]<\/em> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dryden will screen Mutter K&uuml;sters' Fahrt zum Himmel (Mother K&uuml;sters Goes to Heaven, R.
