Few filmmakers have left behind such a monumental and complicated legacy as Rainer Werner Fassbinder—a renegade as idolized for his brilliance and personal magnetism as he was demonized for his emotional volatility and almost sadistic working methods. In this revealing documentary, filmmaker Rosa von Praunheim interviews some of Fassbinder’s closest friends, lovers, and collaborators—including actresses inextricably linked with him like Brigitte Mira, Hanna Schygulla, Irm Hermann, Barbara Valentin, and Ingrid Caven—who recount the exhilarating highs and maddening lows of their association with the filmmaker, offering a fascinating portrait of an artist as both genius and monster.
