Description: The writing in this volume-nearly all presented here for the first time in English-are an essential part of Fassbinder's legacy, the remarkable body of work in which present-day German reality finds brilliant expression.
Brief description: Rainer Werner Fassbinder was a German filmmaker and one of the most influential cultural figures to emerge from postwar Germany.
Review Quotes: There is plenty in the book to substantiate Fassbinder's position as the exemplary European filmmaker of his day, plenty to back up the claim staked by the films themselves for an engaged and provocative cinema that can rival Hollywood on its own terms.
