In the early 1970s, Rainer Werner Fassbinder (Berlin Alexanderplatz) discovered the American melodramas of Douglas Sirk and was inspired by them to begin working in a new, more intensely emotional register. One of the earliest and best-loved films of this period in his career is THE BITTER TEARS OF PETRA VON KANT, which balances a realistic depiction of tormented romance with staging that remains true to the director's roots in experimental theater. This unforgettable, unforgiving dissection of the imbalanced relationship between a haughty fashion designer (Margit Carstensen) and a beautiful but icy ingenue (Hanna Schygulla) - based, in a sly gender reversal, on the writer-director's own desperate obsession with a young actor - is a fully Fassbinder affair, featuring exquisitely claustrophobic cinematography by Michael Ballhaus (THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST) and full-throttle performances by an all-female cast.
