Fassbinder 1977
Rainer Werner Fassbinder (May 31, 1945 - June 10, 1982), German movie director and actor, was one of the most important representatives of the New German Cinema.
He was born in the Bavarian town of Bad W鰎ishofen. He died of a drug overdose; his death is often considered to mark the end of New German Cinema.
In his short life he not only made 43 films (including two shorts and the 15 1/2 hour Berlin Alexanderplatz), but he also worked as an actor (film and theatre), cameraman, composer, designer, editor, producer and theatre manager.
