1975

Rainer Werner Fassbinder(German:[ˈʁaɪ̯nɐ ˈvɛɐ̯nɐ ˈfasˌbɪndɐ]; 31 May 1945 – 10 June 1982), sometimes credited asR. W. Fassbinder, was a West German filmmaker, actor, playwright, theatre director, composer, cinematographer, editor, and essayist. He is widely regarded as a prominent figure and catalyst of the New German Cinema movement.

Success was not immediate for Fassbinder. His first feature-length film, a gangster movie calledLove Is Colder Than Death(1969), was met with mixed reviews at the Berlin Film Festival. His next piece,Katzelmacher(1969), was a minor critical success, garnering five prizes after its debut at Mannheim.

In subsequent years, he made such controversial films asPioneers in Ingolstadt(1971) andWhity(1971), which dealt with human savagery, before scoring his first domestic commercial success withThe Merchant of Four Seasons(1972), and his first international successAli: Fear Eats the Soul(1974), both of which are considered masterpieces by contemporary critics. Big budget projects followed, such asDespair(1978),Lili Marleen(1981), andLola(1981).
