Screening of Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s 1972 film, presented by Ellen McCallum
In The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant, Rainer Fassbinder puts melodrama on steroids as Petra, a caustic and coddled fashion designer, attempts to seduce Karin, an aspiring model, under the persistent surveillance of Petra’s mute assistant, Marlene. Come for the sets and cinematography; stay for the culminating theatrics and potent denouement. One of the most compelling films of New German Cinema.
