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.
