I recently found this video interview with director Todd Haynes in which he discusses the influence of Fassbinder and Sirk on his work. He also speaks insightfully about Fassbinder in general and about ALI: FEAR EATS THE SOUL in particular.

Seeing the growing racial tensions, multiplied after the 9/11 attacks and the London / Madrid bombings, I miss voices like Rainer Werner Fassbinder who showed the society a mirror about their strange behaviour in daily life. Apart from some Would-be-intellectuals there is no one at the stage worth listening to. Unfortunately, this is a declaration of bankruptcy for the whole civilized community in Europe, more interested in the scandals about Silvio Berlusconi and the fashion-style of Carla Bruni then socio-political developments.
