A beautifully human film from German master Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Ali: Fear Eats the Soul explores loneliness, prejudice, and human connection through the unlikely romance between an elderly cleaning woman and a younger Moroccan immigrant. Inspired by Douglas Sirk’s All That Heaven Allows, Fassbinder expertly wields the emotional power of classic Hollywood melodrama to expose the racial tensions underlying contemporary German culture. Profound, funny, and rapturously human, now is your chance to watch this masterpiece of world cinema on the big screen in glorious celluloid!
