A Companion to Rainer Werner Fassbinder

“A welcome reminder of Fassbinder's astonishing breadth and continued resonance, this wide-ranging and brilliant collection of essays is an indispensable resource.” -- Anton Kaes, University of California, Berkeley

“As varied, replete, and edgy as Fassbinder’s work itself, and as deftly edited, this montage of essays takes the measure not just of an oeuvre but of an epoch.” -- Garrett Stewart, author of Framed Timed: Toward a Postfilmic Cinema

“Few filmmakers in the history of cinema have been as productive, as important, and as provocative as R. W. Fassbinder.  With this stellar collection of essays, the achievements of his career unfold in all their astonishing range and diversity, across all their beauties and shocks, with all their pleasures and difficulties.” -- Timothy Corrigan, University of Pennsylvania
