Director Bio : Rainer Werner Fassbinder, motion-picture and theatre director, writer, and actor was an important force in postwar West German cinema. His socially and politically conscious films often explore themes of oppression and despair. Fassbinder made his first full-length motion picture in 1969 under the pseudonym of Franz Walsch, an alias he used until 1971. A prolific artist, he went on to complete more than 40 films and many theatre pieces during his brief career. His films, which are highly critical of middle-class values and manners, include Katzelmacher (1969), Die bitteren Tränen der Petra von Kant (1972; The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant), Angst essen Seele auf (1973; Ali: Fear Eats the Soul) and many more. He also adapted Alfred Döblin’s novel Berlin Alexanderplatz for a 14-part television series in 1980 and later released all of the episodes as a feature film that ran nearly 16 hours.
