SMC Pod #85: Celebrating Rainer Werner Fassbinder, our director of 2021

In a special format, special guest, film editor Andrew Groves joins SMC founder.programmer Craig Hammill to discuss their love of German auteur iconoclast moviemaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Fassbinder was Secret Movie Club's Director of 2021. Andrew brings deep dive knowledge to Fassbinder's bio and body of work. Andrew and Craig wrestle with the paradox of Fassbinder's chaotic personal life compared to his near supernatural discipline/control/virtuosity with filmmaking. Politics, spirituality, sexuality, all get discussed in one of those winding movie conversations we hope you'll have with your friends and peers about your favorite movies and moviemakers.
