In the ABC of Cinema, we’ve reached F for Fassbinder, a dominant force in 1970s German cinema. Fear Eats the Soul, portraying the lot migrant workers in Munich and the racism that pursues them, still resonates today. Immigration is still a hot topic fifty years on.
Ali is a migrant from Morocco, in his 30s; Emmi is German, in her 60s, widowed and working as a cleaner. They meet in a bar; their relationship develops and they become close. But this is seen as outrageous, breaking the unwritten rule of segregation. Both suffer the consequences of prejudice before hope glimmers in the final act.
