Methode Rainer Werner Fassbinder

Fassbinder's prominence, creative non-conformity, and artistic radicalism led to now legendary films, television series, and theatrical plays. Works such as "Ali: Fear Eats the Soul," "The Marriage of Maria Braun," "Eight Hours Don't Make a Day," "Berlin Alexanderplatz," and "Querelle" have etched themselves into our collective visual memory. He was exceedingly prolific in his short life, writing, directing, or shooting some 45 feature films and 25 plays. Fassbinder was an artist who succeeded in synthesizing radical subjectivity and social analysis in his works. He lived and demanded intensity. His sometimes unwieldy, critical stance that stood in contrast to often affectionate portrayals of people, regardless of their respective social backgrounds, was unparalleled and also of deeply respectful consistency. Often viewed controversially during his lifetime, Fassbinder's work has lost none of its relevance, intensity, and charisma to this day.
