A stepping stone for Rainer Werner Fassbinder for better movies
17 April 2023
(1969) Love is Colder Than Death/ Liebe ist kälter als der Tod (In German with English subtitles) CRIME DRAMA

First actual film from Rainer Werner Fassbinder who also stars in it. He plays Franz Walsch who after refusing to work for the syndicate befriends another member the syndicate also attempt to initiate. His name is Bruno (Ulli Lommel), and after Franz was let go early, Bruno then goes on a searching rant to locate Bruno, and finally finds him hanging around with his long time girlfriend living in a brothel, her name is Johanna (Hanna Schygulla), except that Bruno has very much changed to becoming cold blooded as they go on a double crossing and killing rant. As a matter of fact, it's more like the low budget equivalent of "Band Of the Outsiders". Jules and Jim and Jean Pierre Melivile's Le Samorai movie.
