Angst essen Seele auf (Fear Eats the Soul) at Parasol Unit
Overview
Fassbinder pays homage to his cinematic idol Douglas Sirk in this reinterpretation of classic melodrama 'All That Heaven Allows'. Emmi (Brigitte Mira), a mature widower, is ostracised by her family and friends after she embarks on a relationship with Ali (El Hedi ben Salem) an Arab immigrant worker 20 years her junior. An immensely powerful exploration of social prejudice.
