"One of the most beautiful films ever made, plain and simple."(Time Out). ALI: FEAR EATS THE SOUL (1974) screens Wednesday, Sept. 18 @ 7 PM, part of The Essentials series at Moxie Cinema. This series is Free for Moxie Members. Full lineup below.
The wildly prolific German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder paid homage to his cinematic hero Douglas Sirk with this update of that filmmaker’s 1955 All That Heaven Allows. In Ali: Fear Eats the Soul, Fassbinder expertly wields the emotional power of classic Hollywood melodrama to expose the racial tensions underlying contemporary German culture. [Criterion]
A lonely widow meets a much younger Moroccan worker in a bar during a rainstorm. They fall in love, to their own surprise and to the outright shock of their families, colleagues, and drinking buddies.
