Rainer Werner Fassbinder is a deeply fascinating and polarizing filmmaker. In his short life and career, he produced over 40 feature films and 24 plays, all in the span of 13 years.
His films are provocative daring and he has a devoted fan base. But others find his work boring, bizarre, or offensive.
He was also a problematic person on and off set, including abusive and cruel behavior towards many in his vicinity.
In this video I talk about RW Fassbinder's legacy and what, if anything, filmmakers can learn from his career.
