From his first short film made in 1966 to his untimely death in 1982, Rainer Werner Fassbinder made more than 40 films for cinema and television, painting over the course of his work an extraordinarily rich and complex picture of Germany in the XXth century. The feature films offered in this Collector's Box Vol. 2 attest to the genius of the author, while showing his coherence and his mixed diversity. From his shocking melodramas ( The Right of the Strongest , The Year of Thirteen Moons ) to his unmissable German trilogy ( The Marriage of Maria Braun , Lola, a German Woman and The Secret of Veronika Voss ), find eight cult films from RW Fassbinder in splendid new restorations!
