Let me tell you something about movies…MOVIES ARE GAY. They are definitely gay for this month’s theme and how can we do a month like this without some Rainer Werner Fassbinder? We’re discussing what some may consider his masterpiece in this romantic drama from 1972 about a sadist fashion designer and her relationships with the women in her lives. Lovers. Mothers. Daughters. Subs. Based on a play he wrote, Fassbinder’s “THE BITTER TEARS OF PETRA VON KANT” strikes a tone that few movies do and lingers in a way you wish more movies would. Starring Margit Carstensen, Irm Hermann, Katrin Schaake, Eva Mattes and the absolutely stunning Fassbinder muse Hanna Schygulla. Seriously, what a babe. She’s the old woman on the ship deck hanging out with Jerrod Carmichael in “Poor Things”. It’s still a “would” for any self respecting film nerd. Now go get me some goddamn tea.
