Three by Fassbinder / On 35mm!

This unforgettable, unforgiving dissection of the imbalanced relationship between a haughty fashion designer and a beautiful but icy ingenue —based, in a sly gender reversal, on the writer-director’s own desperate obsession with a young actor—is a true Fassbinder affair, featuring exquisitely claustrophobic cinematography by Michael Ballhaus and full-throttle performances by an all-female cast.

(Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Germany, German w/English subs, 124 min, 1970, 35mm)
