"Fassbinder" redirects here. Not to be confused with Fassbender.
Rainer Werner Fassbinder (German:[ˈʁaɪnɐˈvɛʁnɐˈfasbɪndɐ]ⓘ; 31 May 1945 – 10 June 1982), sometimes credited as R. W. Fassbinder,[1] was a German filmmaker, dramatist and actor. He is widely regarded as one of the major figures and catalysts of the New German Cinema movement. Versatile and prolific, his over 40 films span a variety of genres, most frequently blending elements of Hollywood melodrama with social criticism and avant-garde techniques.[2] His films, according to him, explored "the exploitability of feelings".[3][4] His work was deeply rooted in post-war German culture: the aftermath of Nazism, the German economic miracle, and the terror of the Red Army Faction. He worked with a company of actors and technicians who frequently appeared in his projects.[3]
Fassbinder began leading the acting troupe Anti-Theater in 1967, with whom he staged some of his earliest productions.[3 •
