Title from sell sheet.
Originally released as a motion picture in 1972.
Special features: new interviews ; Role play: women on Fassbinder, a 1992 German television documentary; essay by critic Peter Matthews.
Hanna Schygulla, Irm Hermann, Margit Carstensen.
One of the earliest and best-loved films of this period in his career, which balances a realistic depiction of tormented romance with staging that remains true to the director's roots in experimental theater. This unforgettable, unforgiving dissection of the imbalanced relationship between a haughty fashion designer and a beautiful but icy ingenue, based, in a sly gender reversal, on the writer-director's own desperate obsession with a young actor.
DVD, (1.37:1) aspect ratio, monaural.
