Veronika Voss is a brilliant exploration of the life of an ageing movie star with delusions of grandeur and a man’s peculiar obsession with her. With paranoia-laden camerawork (dutch angles, lots of low angle shot reverse shots), stark high-key lighting and a high contrast black and white stock, Fassbinder skilfully constructs a nightmarish cinematic landscape that such a deviant tale can only fit in. Honestly, an incredible film.
