        • Trivia
          Volker Schlöndorff was very critical of Rainer Werner Fassbinder's contribution to the collective film. Alexander Kluge thought that it was the most important contribution, and that the conversation between Fassbinder and his mother, about democracy and German contemporary history, was unique.

        Fassbinder's Masterpiece
        Rainer Werner Fassbinder, possibly the greatest of all filmmakers, presents one of his major achievements to start off this topical omnibus. Portraying his own life as the stuff of cinema, Fassbinder gives us the rare film where players play themselves and the situations seem entirely believable. Featuring Fassbinder, his lover Armin Mier, and his Mother, all in uncompromising self-portrayals. This is Fassbinder's most radical and important work.

        I must admit I have not yet made it to the later portions of Germany in Autumn, as I am so taken by Fassbinder's segment, which is the first after a short intro, that I have not been able to move on to the next without distraction. However, If you have any interest in Fassbinder, or Germany, or Cinema, I would highly recommend hunting down this rarely-seen treasure.
