About the Author
Born in 1945 in Bad Wörishofen, Germany, 50 years after motion pictures were first projected, Rainer Werner Fassbinder was one of the exceptional avant-garde film makers of the 20th century. He made his first short film at age 21, and went on to complete 43 more, including The Marriage of Maria Braun, Jail Bait, and Lili Marleen, before his death in 1982.
