Description

"One of Fassbinder's own personal favorites, the powerful Fox and His Friends may also be the greatest gay film ever made." —Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid

 

Fox, a former circus performer, wins the lottery of DM 500,000 and can now have the life and things that he has always wanted. He enters an abusive relationship with wealthy industrialist Eugen in an attempt to climb the social ladder. His desperation for love and affection soon spirals into tragedy.
