Fox and His Friends is among the director’s most personal works and the first to tackle homosexuality in a direct manner. Fassbinder himself plays Fox, a sweet working class soul whose relationship with wealthy industrialist Eugen, he discovers, is based almost wholly on his unexpected lottery win. When his money runs out, so does any affection, with tragic consequences. (Arrow Academy)

I like self-destructive films and this is one of them. Rainer Werner Fassbinder showed here how interesting he was as a creator, both in the field of directing and screenwriting, as well as acting. This is his concert, where he lets criticism of society and individuals shine through. At the same time, he does not use any melodramatic tools.
