-'''Rainer Werner Maria Fassbinder''' ([[May 31]], [[1945]] – [[June 10]], [[1982]]) was a [[German film]] director, screenwriter and [[actor]]. He is one of the most important representatives of the [[New German Cinema]], noted for such films as ''[[The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant]]''. +
-==Biography==+
-Fassbinder was born in the [[Bavaria]]n town of [[Bad Wörishofen]]. In his short life he not only made 43 films (including two shorts and the 15 ½ hour ''[[Berlin Alexanderplatz_(television)|Berlin Alexanderplatz]]''), but he also worked as an [[actor]] (film and theatre), [[cameraman]], [[composer]], [[production designer|designer]], [[film editor|editor]], [[film producer|producer]] and [[theatre manager]].+
- +
-Fassbinder's prodigious cinematic output is legendary. He made, on average, a film every hundred days. His intense discipline and phenomenal creative energy when working were in violent contrast with the excesses of abasement and tortured relationships of his personal life with the people he drew around him in a surrogate family of actors (including [[Udo Kier]], [[Kurt Raab]] and [[Hanna Schygulla]]), technicians and cameramen (notably [[Michael Ballhaus]]) in a similar way to [[John Cassavetes]].+
- +
-Fassbinder was openly gay and many of his films dealt with gay characters - keeping with his interest in characters that were deemed outsiders by society.+
- +
-Fassbinder died at the age of 37 from an [[drug overdose|overdose]] of [[cocaine]] and [[sleeping pill|sleeping pills]]. There is debate as to whether the overdose was accidental or not. His death is often considered to mark the end of New German Cinema.+
- +
-There is a biography in English, ''Fassbinder: The Life and Work of a Provocative Genius'' by Christian Braad Thomsen, translated by Martin Chalmers (ISBN 0-571-17842-1).+
-==Filmography==+
-All titles written and directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder unless stated otherwise. According to Hanna Schygulla, Fassbinder had no part in making of ''Why Does Herr R. Run Amok?'', that was realized off his idea by Michael Fengler, his assistant. Same might also argue that this is the case for ''The Niklashausen Journey''.+
