| Brief Description: | One of Fassbinder's most unusual and daring films, In a Year of
Thirteen Moons stars Erwin Spengler as a man desperately in love with
his business partner. He decides to have a sex change operation,
becomes Elvira, but this fails to attract the love of his beloved.
Instead, the new "she" finds a series of damaging relationships and
betrayals. Fassbinder uses harsh color, asymmetrical sets, a dissonant
sound track and alternating narrative techniques to evoke the pain of
Erwin/Elvira in a film that stretches the boundaries of conventional
storytelling. German with English subtitles. |
