If you loved Head-On, try Ali: Fear Eats the Soul

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

Theysit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Head-On, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Ali: Fear Eats the Soul is

Fassbinder liked to push buttons; here, he pushes generational and racial ones. A German cleaning woman marries a much younger Moroccan guest worker she meets in a bar. Bigotry ensues, though maybe the couple's own issues would have sunk them anyway.
