The wildly prolific German fiImmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder paid homage to his cinematic hero DougIas Sirk with this update of that filmmaker's 1955 AII That Heaven Allows. A loneIy widow (Brigitte Mira) meets a much younger Arab worker (El Hedi ben SaIem) in a bar during a rainstorm. They fall in love, to their own surprise - and to the outright shock of their famiIies, colleagues, and drinking buddies. ln AIi: Fear Eats the SouI, Fassbinder expertly wieIds the emotionaI power of classic HoIlywood melodrama to expose the racial tensions underlying contemporary German culture. |
