Rainer Werner Fassbinder (1945-1982), author, director, theater artist, and filmmaker, never hid from the public. From the very beginning, he spoke openly and extensively in interviews with journalists and friends about himself and his work. It was as if he wanted to complement or correct the openly or latently autobiographical elements of his films and plays with personal statements and explanations. In conversation, Fassbinder always proved to be politically astute, analyzing social conditions with clarity and being ruthlessly self-reflective. Reading the interviews he gave over the years is essential for understanding his work. This collection of interviews brings together 25 conversations with Rainer Werner Fassbinder that took place between 1969 and 1982, thus covering the entire career of the most important German director after World War II.
