Thomsen builds a fascinating film around a fascinating man, but never, despite his evident deep affection for him, allows it to fall into hagiography.
Offers enough fine material and organizes them with enough intelligence to create a many-pieced psychological portraiture of one of the most intriguing filmmakers who’s ever lived.
It’s a must-see for anyone interested in the mind of a major auteur, even if Thomsen tends to favor psychology over cinema.
Students of the astonishing body of films won’t find much that enhances their understanding, yet Thomsen’s footage offers more than mere scraps from a great career, and deserves inclusion in the corpus.
This is an idiosyncratic hop around Fassbinder’s life by his Danish film historian friend Thomsen.
We leave the documentary loving the films rather than the film-maker.
The access to Fassbinder that the relationship provided was a boon to the film, but a disadvantage as well because the close-up view results in a patchy portrait rather than a coherent biography.
