Description
[Machine Translation] Fassbinder's most powerful melodrama to date! Fassbinder has finally achieved international acclaim for his definitive masterpiece, a new version of the Hollywood film "Heaven Forgives All" by Douglas Sirk, a German director whom Fassbinder has always respected. A soul-stirring film about the despair of love and the hardships of life! --A beautiful and cruel love story between a foreign worker from Morocco and a widowed white woman who lives alone while working as a cleaner. They meet in a bar one rainy night and try to earn a life of love despite the prejudice and deep-rooted discrimination they face in the world... The film was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and won two awards, making Fassbinder's name known worldwide. The title of the film was taken from the words of El Hedi Ben Salem, who played Ali, Fassbinder's lover at the time, and although grammatically incorrect, Fassbinder used it as is ( Salem was later arrested for stabbing a man and committed suicide in prison in France. Fassbinder dedicated "Kerel" to Salem). The melodrama that Fassbinder accepted from the German exile to Hollywood, Douglas Sirk's "Heaven Forgives All" (55), was a film of love and beauty that was unrealistically realistic. This film is also known to have greatly influenced Finnish director Aki Kaurismaki. Commentary leaflet and postcard enclosed.
