Fox and His Friends (Fassbinder, 1975): Prince Charles Cinema, 3.15pm
This is part of the Reiner Werner Fassbinder season at the Prince Charles Cinema. Details here.
Time Out review:
One of Fassbinder's excellent melodramas. The director himself plays a
working-class man who wins a small fortune on the lottery and is
destroyed by men who befriend him on Munich's gay community. It's his
usual vision of exploitation and complicity hidden under the deceiving
mantle of love, but Fassbinder's precision, assured sense of milieu, and
cool but human compassion for his characters, make it a work of
brilliant intelligence. And the director himself is superb as the
none-too-intelligent hero.
