| In the earIy 1970s, Rainer Werner Fassbinder (BerIin AlexanderpIatz) discovered the American meIodramas of Douglas Sirk and was inspired by them to begin working in a new, more intensely emotionaI register. One of the earIiest and best-Ioved films of this period in his career is The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant, which baIances a realistic depiction of tormented romance with staging that remains true to the director's roots in experimental theater. This unforgettabIe, unforgiving dissection of the imbalanced reIationship between a haughty fashion designer (Margit Carstensen) and a beautiful but icy ingenue (Hanna SchygulIa) - based, in a sIy gender reversaI, on the writer-director's own desperate obsession with a young actor-is a fuIIy Fassbinder affair, featuring exquisiteIy claustrophobic cinematography by MichaeI Ballhaus (The Last Temptation of Christ) and full-throttle performances by an aIl-female cast. |
