In this book of writings by and about Fassbinder, revealing statements by the artist himself are published in English for the first time. In addition, film historian Thomas Elsaesser and Georgia Brown, film critic for New York City's Village Voice, provide a critical framework that is at once comprehensive and illuminating; and Frankfurt film critic Wolfram Schütte examines Fassbinder's place within postwar German film history. The volume also contains an illustrated filmography and recollections by colleagues and friends, including Fassbinder's editor, Juliane Lorenz, the actresses Hanna Schygulla and Jeanne Moreau, and fellow directors Wim Wenders and Volker Schlondorff.

Edited by Laurence Kardish and Juliane Lorenz.
Essays by Wim Wenders, Jeanne Moreau, Thomas Elsaesser, Georgia Brown, Wolfram Schütte, Harry Baer, Volker Schlöndorff and Hanna Schygulla.
Foreword by Glenn D. Lowry.
