Product Description From the very beginning of his incandescent career, the New German Cinema enfant terrible Rainer Werner Fassbinder refused to play by the rules. His politically charged, experimental first films, made at an astonishingly rapid rate between 1969 and 1970, were influenced by the work of the Antiteater, an avant-garde stage troupe that he had helped found in Munich. Collected here are five of those fascinating and confrontational works. Whether a self-conscious meditation on American crime movies, a scathing indictment of xenophobia in contemporary Germany, or an off-the-wall look at the dysfunctional relationships on film sets, each is a startling glimpse into the mind of a twentysomething man who was to become one of cinema's most madly prolific artists. 5 Films included: LOVE IS COLDER THAN DEATH (Liebe ist kälter als der Tod) Fassbinder's debut feature depicts a chilly love triangle between a minor-league hood, his girl, and a career criminal. KATZELMACHER A Greek immigrant has a difficult time being accepted into a closed-minded Munich community in this searing social critique. GODS OF THE PLAGUE (Götter der Pest) A handsome ex-con divides his affections between two women and a close male friend while descending back into the criminal underworld. THE AMERICAN SOLDIER (Der amerikanische Soldat) In this virtuoso deconstruction of gangster movie conventions, a Vietnam veteran becomes a hit man for the Munich police. BEWARE OF A HOLY WHORE (Warnung vor einer heiligen Nutte) Creation is chaos in this dramatization of the neuroses rampant on a movie set, inspired by Fassbinder and his crew's own experiences.
