Rainer Werner Fassbinder - A Collection of Documentaries (1978 to 2003)

4 Documentaries about the film maker Rainer Werner Fassbinder, plus interviews with Juliane Lorenz (Fassbinder's editor), Xaver Schwarzenberger (Fassbinder's cinematographer), and Stars and staff of his films. 1) Ich Will Nicht Nur, Dass Ihr Mich Liebt (1993); 2) Lebenslaufe [Live Stories: A Conversation with R. W. Fassbinder] (1978); 3) Editing with Rainer Werner Fassbinder (2003); 4) The Chance of a Life Time (2003).

1) Ich Will Nicht Nur, Dass Ihr Mich Liebt (1993) - 1h36
The title of this documentary on Rainer Maria Fassbinder is just slightly changed from the title of a film that director made in 1976, entitled "Ich Will Doch Nur, Dass Ihr Mich Liebt" (I Only Want You to Love Me). The Wunderkind of postwar German filmmaking died at age 36, in 1982, after making over 50 films in his short fifteen year career. He tended to produce resolutely experimental films using members of his theatrical troupe, the "Anti-Theater." Hanna Schygulla, frequently the female lead in his films, speaks about the man and his character as a director, as do others who were members of his extended filmmaking family. This is the first attempt to produce a documentary of the audacious, controversial director since his death.
