If you loved Ali: Fear Eats the Soul, try Veronika Voss
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Ali: Fear Eats the Soul, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Veronika Voss is
1950s Munich noir where a fading film star trades morphine for fading light. A chance meeting with a journalist stirs hope but exposes the machinery of her undoing. Fassbinder’s last golden-age dive, all mirrors and needles.
