Warnung vor einer heiligen Nutte

Rainer Werner Fassbinder

Germany, Italy, Fiction, 1970, 103'′

It’s a semi-autobiographical film. The whore is Hollywood and Fassbinder’s film is one the great movies about the making of a movie. Or not: on a film set both the director and the film material are missing. The cast and crew are gathered at a Spanish hotel waiting so they can begin work on a gangster film starring Eddie Constantine. We watch the bunch as they relate in this tense situation. The director’s arrival pushes them towards alienation.
