If you loved Le lacrime amare di Petra von Kant, try La paura mangia l'anima
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Le lacrime amare di Petra von Kant, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What La paura mangia l'anima 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.
