Fassbinder

Today is the 27th anniversary of Rainer Werner Fassbinder vacating his director's chair. It was front page news, I remember (I saw it on the front page of the Daily Telegraph). I shall be devoting space to RWF in my forthcoming book, New Waves in Cinema, due out next year. In the meantime, raise a glass in the great man's honour. (Or, perhaps more in keeping with his own predilictions, do something else:-))
