Nothing cavalier about it. We all have hierarchy in your minds, and in my view Fassbinder, whether due to the unfortunate shortness of his career, or his peculiar vision of the world, or his choice of artistic means, does not occupy the space next to those I would consider true giants. The term "second tier" is not an insult, it is rather a statement of facts. I like some of his works, but I have never been drawn head-over-hills into any of his movies - they are too rational for me to do that. There is brain, and plenty of intriging observations, but emotion is lacking, and it is mostly the emotion that I seek.
