12.06 movie

Why Does Herr R. Run Amok? (Rainer Werner Fassbinder, 1969) - theatrical

This was a badly discolored print which is unfortunate -- which is the only kind of celluloid degradation that bothers me off the top -- and I was exhausted at the time, but despite that I had a great time.  I think I actually prefer Fassbinder's early style even if he hit his creative peak later on.  This is kind of like Jeanne Dielman but more powerful and much funnier.  I could definitely see myself making something like this.
