Fear Eats the Soul

 

Germany 1973, 92 minutes
Dir. Rainer Werner Fassbinder
In German with English subtitles
Rating: [M]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama / Romance

Feat. Brigitte Mira, El Hedi ben Salem

 

Aroview: A sort of remake of Douglas Sirk's older woman-younger man melodrama "All That Heaven Allows", with added plot weirds countered by typical Fassbinder understatement, featuring his then lover El Hedi ben Salem as an Arab guestworker who starts a impossible relationship with an older German woman.

An unexpectedly compassionate film set in a nasty and sharp world, a key work by a key director in world cinema in the 1970s.
