Why watch this film?

Substitute 'Fassbinder: Rise and Fall of a Genius' with 'Enfant Terrible'. "Enfant Terrible: Rise and Fall of a Genius" is a dramatic biopic that tells the incredible story of one of the most important filmmakers of New German Cinema, Rainer Werner Fassbinder. He died of an overdose at only 37 years old, leaving an impressive body of work in a short amount of time, especially for his young age. His career consists of 40 feature films, as well as short films, plays, and TV series. Starring Oliver Masucci (known for his role in the series 'Dark'), it attempts to capture the essence of Fassbinder, an artist who was temperamental and genius yet unable to protect himself. A great pick to learn more about the history of one of the most important names in film history.
