THE 120 DAYS OF BOTTROP
Die 120 Tage von Bottrop
Synopsis
The survivors of the old Fassbinder crew gather one last time to shoot a remake of Pasolini’s Salò. Meanwhile, the producer sends an agent to Hollywood to meet Udo Kier, Kitten Natividad and others on a mission to raise money and get ex-Visconti superstar Helmut Berger to appear in the film.

Our take
Fassbinder, Pasolini, Udo Kier, Margit Carstensen and Helmut Berger: these are the ingredients for Christoph Schlingensief’s uncompromising tribute to Rainer Werner Fassbinder and a slap in the face of the German film industry.
