Dalla quarta di copertina

A Companion to Rainer Werner Fassbinder is a groundbreaking collection. The first to engage fully with this important figure, whose untimely death in 1982 is said to have marked the end of New German cinema. Twenty-eight chapters consider this controversial director's contribution to German cinema, German history, gender and queer studies, and auteurship.
