Special Issue Editor: Gerd Gemünden

This special issue dedicated to studies of films by Rainer Werner Fassbinder is the first issue of New German Critique centered on Fassbinder in over thirty years (see New German Critique, no. 63 [1994]). As the German film historian Gerd Gemünden writes in his introduction, this new issue’s essays paint a “different and more diverse picture” of the prolific and controversial postwar German director, one focused more on critically contextualizing the films than on the singular influence of Fassbinder’s outsized persona.
