The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant (Fassbinder, 1972): Prince Charles Cinema, 8.15pm
This is a Funeral Parade Queer Film Society screening. There are others here.
Chicago Reader review:
A lesbian love triangle becomes a schema of sexual power plays in Rainer
Werner Fassbinder's most harshly stylized and perhaps most significant
film (1972). The action is confined to a single set—the apartment of
fashion designer Margit Carstensen, decorated with desiccated mannequins
and a mammoth painting of fleshy, galloping nudes—where the three
characters (one is a mute) scheme, complain, and attempt to seduce. With
Irm Hermann and Hanna Schygulla.

Here (and above) is the trailer.
