16.03.2012 | New in April: 2 x Fassbinder in the UK

On 23 April, Park Circus, the Glasgow-based UK label for selected arthouse titles on DVD and Blu-ray, will bring out two recently restored films by Rainer Werner Fassbinder: I ONLY WANT YOU TO LOVE ME (1976) and DESPAIR (1978). Both DVDs (and, in case of DESPAIR, the blu-ray, too) will contain a feature-length documentary about the making of these films: OF LOVE AND CONSTRAINTS: SPECULATIONS ON FASSBINDER’S »I ONLY WANT YOU TO LOVE ME« features interviews with actors Vitus Zeplichal and Elke Aberle and cinematographer Michael Ballhaus, while THE CINEMA AND ITS DOUBLE: FASSBINDER’S »DESPAIR« REVISITED has Ballhaus along with screenwriter Tom Stoppard, actress Andréa Ferréol and many others. Both documentaries were directed by Robert Fischer and produced by Fiction Factory, Munich. (See »Films« and »DVD/Blu-rays« for further details.)
