synopsis
The filmmaker, who was Fassbinder’s friend, built this documentary around a core of sensitive material that he was “afraid to look at” for a long time. In one single interview, the mentally and physically completely exhausted auteur revealed the key to his own self-image. This found footage film includes talks with people close to Fassbinder, excerpts from his films, and a lightly sarcastic Freudian commentary.
