Review of Fear of Fear (1975) by Randy T — 31 Jan 2010
A very unconventional love story that director Rainer Fassbinder made "to fill the time" between his larger budget productions.
Angst Essen Seele auf is an intimate portrait of the relationship between a sixty-something German widow and her forty-something Moroccan lover. Fassbinder effectively (and brilliantly) conveys their isolation and the whirlpool of racism and bigotry that surrounds them.
This is a very odd film that is surprisingly touching and eloquent.
