Description

Rainer Werner Fassbinder, the definitive enfant terrible of the New German Cinema, drew much of his inspiration from the work of his idol, the King of Melodrama Douglas Sirk. In this stunning boxset - which unites EFFI BRIEST, MARTHA and FEAR OF FEAR - Fassbinder explores the themes popularised by Sirk's melodramas: most notably the frailty of the human condition and the oppressive force of societal values upon the individual.

Packed with extras and special features, FASSBINDER ON MELODRAMA is a must for every film enthusiast!
