The film world premiered at the 2020 Cannes Film Festival.
Fassbinder’s prolific work was melodramatic, with social commentary reflecting post-war Germany.
Recurrent themes in his work were: sexual identity, racism, economic status, and politics all used as vehicles of exploitation and systematic suppression in the new German society.
Considering his short life, Fassbinder’s creative output was astounding.
A maverick director, who lived in turbulent yet progressive times for Germany, he depicted the detractions and ills that came with capitalism.
Fassbinder made a series of intimate films filled with eroticism, sexuality, and identity formations.
