Ali: Fear Eats the Soul
German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder pays tribute to Douglas Sirk’s 1955 melodrama All That Heaven Allows in this contemporary reimagining set in 1970s West Germany. The film follows a lonely widow and a younger Moroccan immigrant who fall in love, much to the surprise—and disapproval—of their families, friends and colleagues. Fassbinder blends the emotional intensity of classic Hollywood melodrama with a sharp examination of racial prejudice and social tensions in German society at the time. In German and Arabic w/ subtitles.
