Fassbinder the insurgent. And Richter his heir. As an agent provocateur, he starts from the iconoclastic figure of the German director to question the radicalization of our societies, the rise of all kinds of violence, exclusion, and discrimination, and to raise questions painfully absent from our public debates. Pointing to fear as fertile ground where political extremisms thrive, he confronts European societies with their responsibilities and the dead-end of their systems. What to do in the face of terror? Stay in a warm cocoon that absolves us of responsibility? Use the pretext of the machine’s breakdown without realizing that the machinist is the agent of his own alienation? What room is left for a surge of conscience in a morally drained political and social body? I am Fassbinder is a work of vigorous and non-violent fury.
