Title:
Angst essen Seele auf (Ali: Fear Eats the Soul)
"In one of his most moving and unforgettable films, Fassbinder draws on the formulas of the classic American tearjerker to tell the outrageous and touching story of a bumpy love affair between a German floor washer and an inarticulate Arab mechanic. With warm humanism and cool irony, he turns this premise into an emotional romance, a perverse social comedy, and a biting drama." Director: Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Color. Country: West Germany. Subtitled.
