Me too, Ken. Did you see Alexanderplatz there? The two lead actors showed up at the end of the screening.
The only two RWFs I really can't stand (I've seen over 30)are "Querelle" (drugs do take their toll) and "Satan's Brew" (wacky farce was not his forte, and this is the painful evidence).

You know, we attempted to do this once but they had a cap on how many movies you could rent out at one time at V1deo 2 G0 and slowly but surely the place's actually very impressive collection of RWF films started disappearing...so we kind of meh'ed it off and bogarted another director's collection instead. Lili Marleen is probably the one I like best when I think about it and force myself to decide.
big dvd release for half of his films pretty soon.
This is good news, cf. the first half of my post! When I go back to Amherst maybe we can work on completing our goal now.

I can see why he'd say he preferred it to be watched in larger chunks, though but there can be logistical difficulties with that (ie I'm hoping the movie theatre gave intermissions so viewers didn't have to miss 5 minute bits and pieces of the movie if they had to pee sometime during the 8 hours--and also for those of us who can hold it, so we don't have to miss parts of the movie for ppl getting up and down constantly!).

Schoener fremder mann/"handsome stranger" pops up in so many of his films prior to the climactic use of the Connie Francis song of the same name in 13 Moons... check the early Antiteater films... "Handsome stranger" is one of the stock responses...

― Punk's not daft (Tom D.), Friday, 26 February 2021 18:24 (three years ago) link
i saw this first during a period where it seemed like every second film i watched had an incredibly explicit animal slaughter sequence. of these i think touki bouki was the worst.

― himpathy with the devil (jim in vancouver), Friday, 26 February 2021 22:47 (three years ago) link
I think for me it was the horse and cow in the long cut of Andrei Rublev. I don't remember anything like that from Touki Bouki.
― Halfway there but for you, Friday, 26 February 2021 23:02 (three years ago) link
interesting to hear the various reactions to these things--they all come to mind, though one that got me just tonight was rewatching Godard's Weekend, when the pig is sledgehammered on the head. The other one that I close my eyes for is the seals being clubbed in The Devil, Probably. I saw Wake in Fright years ago at a revival and remember nothing of the slaughter, just that it's in there somewhere. Roar is worth seeing for the reverse situation, actors being slightly to mediumly maimed by lions and shit. it's cool. I just watched Touki Bouki last week, they skin and cut a deer or something iirc. the colors are really saturated in that movie
― flappy bird, Saturday, 27 February 2021 06:32 (three years ago) link
but the slaughterhouse in 13 Moons is his most explicit depiction of the holocaust
Is that what it was meant to depicting?

haha I know I know, he wears it in back to back films (American Soldier / Beware of a Holy Whore). Amazing he was able to keep it so clean in those 8 years. Then again, according to Kurt Raab, RWF "took more baths than the average German."

I saw this biopic last night. A lot of the anecdotes were familiar from the book Fassbinder Film Maker, by Ronald Hayman, which I read ages ago, and I've seen all the films they depicted. I thought the main actor was very skillful, capturing him at his kindest and cruelest, and the film captured the relationships among his troupe too. The visual style is expressionist, with lots of pools of blue and red light in the darkness, and no exterior scenes, but it nodded to Fassbinder's style without ever being cute or clever about it.It's certainly better than Le Redoutable, the pointless Godard/Wiazemsky film that came out a few years ago, apparently the only biopic about a film director I've seen.
