RAINER WERNER FASSBINDER
<http://www.brightlightsfilm.com/21/21_fassbinder.html>

1) Ali: Fear Eats the Soul
(1974, colour, 1 hour 34 minutes, German w/English subtitles)

With Brigitte Mira, El Ben Salem

The film that won Fassbinder international acclaim and the
International Critics Prize at Cannes 1974. Fassbinder's outrageous and
touching remake of Douglas Sirk's All That Heaven Allows -- an homage
to this master of melodrama -- tells the story of the unlikely love
affair between a German cleaning woman in her sixties and an Arab
mechanic barely half her age. "A deceptively simple tale . . . which
exposes the racial prejudice and moral hypocrisy at the heart of modern
West German society." (Time Out Film Guide) However, while it is bitter
in its unflinching take or critique on racism in Germany, it is also a
moving tale of two individuals and their love, a perfect introduction
to Fassbinder's commitment to the complexities of passion.


2) The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant
(1972, colour, 2 hours 4 minutes, German w/English subtitles)

With Margit Carstensen

Fassbinder, a notorious romantic who left former lovers to ruin, outdid
himself with The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant. Shot entirely in
fashion designer Petra von Kant's live/work space, yet broken into
enough camera angles, mirrors and points of view to constitute grand
architecture. The story swerves between tragedy and camp, hilarity and
dead seriousness, as every heart of glass gets smashed on the floor.
Lesbian pajama party? Nasty satire? Sincere empathy for power-hungry
fashionistas? With Fassbinder, check all of the above.
