I had a dream very important to me at one time in which Fassbinder appeared. Later I realized, “fast binder” was the pun his name contained in the dream.He was at the bottom of the sea. So, liberation was releasing the Fassbinder in me. For years I watched his films obsessively.

Ciao,

Murat

Odd in a way nobody else's work has been--that soap-ey surface to so many of the films. A lot of it has to do with the fact that the acting is better than in (maybe) anybody else's work; these are long-time collaborators who began as theater practicioners in a fascinating "what now, after Brecht?" setting. <br/><br/>Unsurprising to see scandal still erupting about the fellow.
