This heartrendingly compassionate tragedy from Rainer Werner Fassbinder traces the final days in the life of Elvira (Volker Spengler), a transgender woman spurned by her former lover, as she reaches out desperately for understanding. With infinite empathy for the plight of the dispossessed, Fassbinder crafts a searing statement on both the universal need for love and the human capacity for cruelty.
“It’s a passionate and messy film portraying loneliness, societal cruelties and victimization as powerful as its ever been presented on the screen.” – Dennis Schwartz, Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
“The movie is a relentlessly uncompromising, keening cri de coeur, a movie that has turned a wake into a work of art.” – Jay Scott, Globe and Mail
