Duration: 124m

Despite its brilliant all-female cast, this is an intensely autobiographical film in which Fassbinder portrays himself through Petra, a successful but lonely fashion designer who falls in love with a beautiful younger woman very different from herself. A visual and verbal extravaganza and a profound disquisition on loneliness, love, the compulsion to work, and the impossibility of truly honest relationships. BFI Flare
