    Fassbinder – JETZT

    By Dorothea Holloway | August 19, 2015

    Die Ausstellung Fassbinder – JETZT im Martin-Gropius-Bau geht zu Ende, da möchte ich noch mal Ronald Holloway zitieren und zwar aus KINO – German Film No: 9 (Winter 1982/82 ):

    When Rainer Werner Fassbinder (born 31 May 1945 ) died at 37 on the Feast of Corpus Christi (10 June 1982 ), he had already directed 42 films in the brief span of 14 years and had two other projects on the wing. He was considered the backbone of New German Cinema; indeed, take away his contribution, and the rest loses decisively in meaning and depth. He had won six German Film Prizes, the last awarded to Lola this year. At the June ceremonies, Minister of the Interior Gerhart Rudolf Baum paid a high compliment: »Mit Rainer Werner Fassbinder haben wir einen der ganz grossen Persönlichkeiten des deutschen Films verloren.«
