- Synopsis:
'The Early Works of Rainer Werner Fassbinder' brings together all of the German director's surviving works from the 1960's plus a documentary portrait examining his earliest days as a filmmaker. ln the two short films, 'The City Tramp' and 'The Little Chaos' (heavily influenced by Jean-Luc Godard's Bande a part), we find Fassbinder in search of an identity. In the two features, 'Love is Colder Than Death' and 'Katzelmacher', he begins to discover it. Dedicated to Claude -Chabrol, Eric Rohmer, Jean-Marie Straub and the main characters from Spaghetti Western 'A Bullet for the General', 'Love is Colder Than Death' is a playful crime picture, heavily indebted to the nouvelle vague. 'Katzelmacher' is more in line with Fassbinder's stage efforts, a character study and mini-melodrama in which the dynamic between a group of friends is radically altered by the arrival of an immigrant worker. - Actors:
