	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Rainer Werner Fassbinder
		Fassbinder charts Helmut's success with shrewd visual touches, as in a scene where the two are talking and the camera moves methodically around the room until the image of Helmet completely obscures Martha.
		Fassbinder was not simply a critic of the prevailing order (though he was that), but equally wary of the right and the left, and often found himself reviled as a misogynist, a traitor, even an anti-Semite.
		Fassbinder portrays the slow meltdown of these relationships as inevitable, and his actresses (there are no men in the film) move in a slow, trancelike way that hints at a vast world of longing beneath the beautiful, brittle surface.

	ArtandCulture Artist: Rainer Werner Fassbinder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Fassbinder’s conscious debt to American culture, reflected in his homages to Douglas Sirk and John Ford, was molded during his adolescence, when he would see upwards of 15 Hollywood films a week in defiance of austere, postwar German aesthetics.
		Unapologetically homosexual, Fassbinder fled to Munich’s gay underworld as a 15-year-old, haunting bars and clubs as a male prostitute and shocking his family.
		Fassbinder was not simply a opponent of the status quo, but, as an equal-opportunity critic of the right and the left, he held up a mirror to class expectations, revealing an ugly picture that caused him to be maligned as misogynist, traitorous, and even homophobic.

		Rainer Werner Fassbinder was a filmmaker prolific to the point of being a workaholic.
		Fassbinder made no bones about the fact that he was an oppressor and had compassion for both victims and victimisers (often one and the same).
		If, finally, Fassbinder is not one of the most endearing directors, he remains a remarkable figure for both his unwavering commitment to a socially aware cinema and his rare capacity to use the packaging, the form and, to some degree, the content of Hollywood cinema to produce passionate artistic and political statements.

		It was through them that Fassbinder's legendary productivity was possible: where other, more conventionally minded film-makers would labour for months to set up, cast and shoot a film, he could, and frequently did, knock one off in a matter of days.

		Rainer Werner Fassbinder was the leading member of a group of second-generation, alternative filmmakers in West Germany.
		When TAT failed, Fassbinder became less involved in the theater, but a trace of his interest always remained and was manifested in his frequent appearances in his own films.
		It is the one which evinces the keenest awareness of the intellectual spaces traversed in Germany since the years of fascism (and especially since the mid-1960s), and the one which reveals the most effective assimilation of the heritage of forms associated with art and political cinema.

		Fassbinder seemingly overnight went from enfant terrible to being the driving force behind the New German Cinema, and one of the most influential artists of the postwar European scene, with a prodigious output as director, actor, author, and playwright.
		Fassbinder, who escaped an unhappy childhood into cinema, was seemingly incapable of a boring shot, and yet was able to infuse tenderness into the most perverse situation.
		Fassbinder is the star of this powerful psychodrama in the guise of a fable, in which a good-natured prole wins the lottery and is skillfully, ruthlessly exploited by his wealthy boyfriend.

		Fassbinder takes a rare starring role as Franz--"Fox" to his friends--a gay carny thrown out of work when the cops close a fairground sideshow.
		The story is partially autobiographical, inspired by Fassbinder's own relationship with an illiterate butcher, but the director casts himself as the victim in the cinematic incarnation and turns his tormentor into a veritable vampire.
		Biographical considerations aside, it remains one of Fassbinder's most affecting, accomplished, and personal films, and he delivers a sweet, wounded performance as the proletariat Fox in a den of cultured, upper-class hounds.

	FASSBINDER 6-week Retrospective Film Series at Film Forum in New York City
		In Fassbinder’s most famous film, Hanna Schygulla (Best Actress, Berlin Film Festival) builds a financial empire in parallel with Germany’s post-war “economic miracle,” partly thanks to her affair with moneybags Ivan Desny — but also dallying with a fl GI — while living in hope for the return of her missing-in-action husband Klaus Löwitsch.

		Fassbinder’s lavish, big-budget recreation of the era created scandal on first release with its cynical depiction of a supposed Jewish underground railway to Swiss freedom, casting himself as its Berlin chief in a typically outrageous touch.

	Rainer Werner Fassbinder
		Rainer Werner Fassbinder creates a spare, atypically muted, and relevant portrait of alienation, ennui, and xenophobia in Katzelmacher.
		Resisting formulaic melodrama in favor of social commentary, Fassbinder shows that even as the scrutinized couple learn to cope with unwanted public attention, societal pressures continue to "eat the souls" of Ali and Emmi, creating a fissure within their fragile relationship.
		Rainer Werner Fassbinder illustrates the claustrophobic atmosphere of scrutiny as a reflection of the intrusive nature of the public's insatiable appetite for the entertainment value of human tragedy: the confined spaces of the Kusters' apartment, the omnipresence of reporters and photographers; the framed shots of the Thaelmann's apartment.

	Fassbinder, Rainer Werner
		En rejse gennem Fassbinders livsværk er en rejse gennem Tysklands historie fra Weimar-republikkens opløsning i 20'erne over nazismens sejr i 30'erne og dens sammenbrud i 40'erne frem til 50'ernes vesttyske industrimirakel, 60'ernes frigørelse og 70'ernes politiske rethaverisme, der stivnede i terrorisme.
		Fassbinder var barn af krigssammenbruddets Tyskland og voksede op i en kaotisk storfamilie, idet barndomshjemmet var fyldt med flygtninge fra øst i en grad, så han dårligt vidste, hvem der var hans rigtige forældre.
		Fassbinders filmsprog er ikke realistisk: personerne bevæger sig let kejtet, som om de ikke hører hjemme i deres egen krop, og de taler med en stivhed, som om heller ikke det, de siger, repræsenterer deres egne synspunkter, men er noget, de har lært sig at sige.

	Rainer Werner Fassbinder - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
		Rainer Werner Fassbinder nació en Bad Wörishofen (Baviera) el 31 de mayo de 1945 y murió en Munich el 10 de junio de 1982.
		A menudo se habla de Fassbinder como un gran director de escena, ya que cada plano estba minuciosamente diseñado para provocar un fuerte impacto estético en la pantalla, ya fuera por su sobriedad o por sus retorcidas virguerías técnicas.
		Aunque Fassbinder nunca trató de hacer un "cine gay" en el que se tratara lo gay como una problemática, en casi todas sus películas aparecen personajes homosexuales y, como él mismo dijo, "siempre puede notarse una sensibilidad gay en todas mis películas".

		Fassbinder was one of the many young German directors to benefit from state funding in the late 1960s that created the New German Cinema in, less a movement than a cultural explosion that launched the careers of Wim Wenders, Volker Schlöndorff, Werner Herzog, and Werner Schroeter, among others.
		Fassbinder arrived in a burst of creativity as a fully-formed artist with his first feature film Love is Colder than Death in 1969, and the work didn’t stop until his death at age 37.
		Some of Fassbinder’s greatest films came from this period, but his international status as an outspoken iconoclast clouded his critical reputation and the flood of release of his new films (as well as the early films just then finding international distribution) made it difficult and overwhelming for audiences to keep up with his work.
