Description
[Machine Translation] The unorthodox Fassbinder portrays women struggling in the loneliness and despair of love. The film is a masterpiece among masterpieces, crystallizing the impossibility of love into a profound drama! A masterpiece among masterpieces that crystallizes the impossibility of love as a profound drama! --Petra, a brilliant fashion designer. Petra, a brilliant fashion designer, is the reigning mistress when a beautiful young woman, Carlin, appears before her. Petra is lost in love with Carlin, but is eventually used and then discarded... Fassbinder breaks new ground in melodrama, departing from his previous collective creations by amateur actors, and adapts his own play into a film, creating a dense love drama. The film's scenes take place in the apartment of Petra, the protagonist, from beginning to end. The film's experimental direction, including its theatrical space and cinematic composition, color effects with various costumes and paintings, and impressive music, made it the most accomplished film of the prolific director Fassbinder's career (many fans have chosen this film as their No. 1 film). The story is said to reflect Fassbinder's own personal relationships, and it is also his first depiction of homosexuality. The cruelty of love between the dominant and the dominated, in a time from which there is no escape, pierces the viewer's soul. Commentary leaflet (written by Tetsuya Shibuya) and postcards are enclosed.
