just to remind idealist fools who still believe in auteur theory that the man who definitly killed the concept, becoming at the same time the very last auteur of cinema (without ever thinking of being one), is the one and only rainer werner fassbinder, a modern john ford with his troupe of actors, his lyricism, his staff, his modern theatrical genius, his very few words of explanation ... and his early death ...
a short clip with footage from berlin international film festival in 1969 .... rainer werner fassbinder's first film l'amour est plus fort que la mort/love Is colder than death, starring ulli lommel had it's premiere in berlin .... 40 years later, lommel's first film as a director, absolute evil had it's premiere at berlin and this video was shown before the film ....
