- Synopsis:
- "Satan's Brew" sees Fassbinder foray into riotous comedy, with Kurt Raab starring as Kranz, a once famous poet heralded as the 'poet of the revolution', now suffering from writer's block and harangued by his wife Luise for not paying the rent on the apartment they share with his mentally disabled brother. When his latest work inadvertently turns out to be plagiarised from a work by the prewar symbolist Stefan George, Kranz assumes he is the reincarnation of the original author and goes to increasingly ludicrous measures to gather a circle of admirers in order to emulate the cult of personality that surrounded George.
