Synopsis:
Based upon the career of UFA studio star Sybille Schmitz and influenced by Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard, Fassbinder’s savage satire stars Rosel Zech as forgotten screen icon Veronika Voss. Dreaming of a triumphant return to the glories of her past, she encounters journalist Robert Krohm (Hilmar Thate), a younger man who falls under the spell of her still-alluring beauty. As the two embark upon an affair, Krohm begins to uncover the true tragedy of Veronika’s life.

Gripping drama, looks incredible. - Veronika Voss review by AL

Spoiler Alert

Despite Fassbinder's astonishing work rate, I don't think he ever made a bad movie and Veronika Voss rates with the best of them. The black and white photography is just stunning, the story is gripping and the central performances are wonderful. I'd love to see this on the big screen at some point.
