Sunday Cinematheque at the Chazen: Rainer Werner Fassbinder

An internationally renowned actor (Alphaville’s Constantine) clashes with an abusive director (Castel) during the making of an art movie. Working without a script and a runaway budget, the rest of the actors and crew cruelly descend on each other. Inspired by the dysfunctional set of one of his earlier productions, Fassbinder made this acerbic gem, his own contribution to the canon of movies about moviemaking.
