Water Drops on Burning Rocks

These little, charged dramas of Fassbinder are compelling for reasons I don't understand.

Nicely built with a non-linear story

6.4/10, my review: http://wp.me/p1eXom-2PP

Lourd et pas jojo comme film, sur la complexité des rapports humains.

Twisted, odd, original re-working of Rainer Fassbinder --- complete with inappropriate musical number. Not to be missed.

Visually seductive, but empty at the end.

Dark heavily sexualised comedy set in seventies Germany. Some of the dialogue is very strong which is to be expected given the story's theatre origins. A very short picture which is difficult to categorise in terms of meaning or purpose.

A bizarre German film done in French about an older business man's sexual exploits. There is one scene in the movie that I've never forgotten; Leopold (the businessman) yells out to his housguests, "Everyone in the bedroom!" To which the girs shriek and scream with delight as they run into the bedroom. It left me laughing at the obsurdity of it. You'd have to see it to appreciate it.

Wild sexual adventure.

Remains interesting for a while but falls apart in the final act.
