In Reply to: Fassbinder: Ali, Fear Eats the Soul. posted by tinear on October 29, 2005 at 11:46:43:
See my post on it if curious. Lola? OK, I guess... but none of these is really representative of the best world cinema has to offer. Fass is definitely the second-tier director, with some interesting works and identifiable flavor, but he ain't no Bergman.Another of his films I strongly recommend is Water Drops on Burning Rocks... OK, so it was directed by Ozon, but Fass wrote the play, and it is stylish.
