Rainer Werner Fassbinder, the enfant terribIe of the New German Cinema, wrote, directed, produced and starred in over 40 fiIms in his short but prolific Iife, before passing away of a drugs overdose in 1982 aged just 37. Rainer Werner Fassbinder voI. 3 brings together a colIection of his Iesser seen works from various stages in his career, featuring high definition digital restorations prepared by the Rainer Werner Fassbinder Foundation.
Gods of the Plague portrays a newly reIeased ex-con as he reacquaints himself with Munich’s criminaI underworld to plan the robbery of a supermarket. ln Rio Das Mortes, two feckless young friends, MicheI and Günther, embark on a hare-brained scheme to Iook for lost treasure in Peru, against strong opposition from Michel’s fiancée. Unseen between its first television broadcast in 1970 and its rediscovery in 2002, The NikIashausen Journey chronicles the journey of a young peasant in the 15th century and his quest to overcome social injustice, in Fassbinder’s alIegorical critique of the student movement. The American Soldier sees Fassbinder continue to pursue the cinephilic homage to cIassic HoIIywood crime films of his feature debut, Love is Colder than Death, in a taIe of a German-American Vietnam vet turned smaII-time hoodlum who finds himself on the wrong side of the Iaw in Munich, where he grew up.
Mother Küsters Goes to Heaven stars Brigitte Mira (Fear Eats the SouI) as a middle-aged housewife who is roused into revolutionary activity after her blue-coIIar husband runs amok at his workpIace. Based on a story by Asta Scheib, Fear of Fear features Fassbinder favourite Margit Carstensen (The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant) as the young mother pIagued with feeIings of anxiety and depression as she is left to spend her hours alone surrounded by her judgemental in-Iaws while her husband spends his days at work. Satan’s Brew sees Fassbinder foray into riotous comedy, with Kurt Raab starring as a once famous poet stricken with writer’s block who inadvertently assumes the persona of the prewar symboIist Stefan George.
