Fear Eats the Soul.
Rainer Werner Fassbinder. German with English subtitles, Feature Film. Ben Salem, Barbara Valentin, Irm Hermann. Fassbinder draws on the formula of the classic American tear-jerker to tell the outrageous, touching story of a bumpy love affair between a German floorwasher and an inarticulate Arab mechanic. Fear Eats the Soul is a moving romance, a perverse social comedy, and a biting drama.
