RAINER WERNER FASSBINDER | GERMANY | 1973 | 212 MIN | NR | GERMAN, ENGLISH 

A monumental influence for the genre, this visionary sci-fi spectacle bursting with bold colors follows a cybernetics engineer as he uncovers a corporate conspiracy behind a simulated reality computer project.

Cast: Klaus Löwitsch, Mascha Rabben, Karl-Heinz Vosgerau, Adrian Hoven


Part of the Philadelphia Film Society's Rainer and His Friends - Fassbinder Director Series.

The most recognizable, polarizing, and unclassifiable filmmaker out of New German Cinema, Rainer Werner Fassbinder crafted dozens of films—in addition to plays, adaptations, and other texts—in a very short, prolific period of time. Utilizing a recurring troupe of actors throughout his many films, Fassbinder continually altered the perception of what modern cinema can be. Whether it’s confronting a taboo topic with great zeal or deconstructing the cinematic melodrama, Rainer and his friends changed films forever.
