Ali: Fear Eats the Soul
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Rainer Werner Fassbinder
1974 / 93min / 35mm
Explicitly modeled after Douglas Sirk's 1955 All That Heaven Allows, this tentative romance between a middle-aged German widow (Briggite Mira) and a much younger Moroccan mechanic (El Hedi ben Salem) manages an almost miraculous combination of warm emotional direcness and cool intellectual rigor, depicting its characters not as saints but as very real, limited people bent to breaking by the social pressures around them.
