About the Film: (Germany, 1969, 88 min., 16 mm, Director: Rainer Werner Fassbinder) This film about a small-time pimp and the friendship he forms with his tail from a large gangster syndicate was Rainer Werner Fassbinder's debut film. It is seen as a fine example of his early style, with a heavy nouvelle vague influence. An angry young man at the time, Fassbinder succeeded in distinguishing himself with a radical style distinct from Hollywood-style action films, and a narrative that concentrated on the here and now.
