About
Veronika Voss

Fassbinder's last great film, shot in gorgeous black & white, with wonderful performances by all the actors, especially Hilmar Thate as the reporter. It's a fictionalized account of a true story, but is told in usual Fassbinder style: imagine "Sunset Boulevard" as if directed by Douglas Sirk, with undercurrents of Hitchcock's "Rebecca" and Welle's "Citizen Kane". Sad to think within a year Fassbinder would be dead.
