Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder | 1975
With Peter Chatel, Karlheinz Böhm, Rainer Werner Fassbinder
German New Wave rebel Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s heart-shattering portrait of bad romance stars the director himself as the naïve Fox, a gay carnival worker who, after winning a small fortune in the lottery, finds himself drawn into a web of deceit by a manipulative bourgeois businessman (Chatel). Steeped in the milieu of 1970s West Germany’s queer subculture—furtive glances, cruising, bathhouses—Fox and His Friends blends class commentary with wrenching pathos.
