I’m preparing to launch my blog, In a Year with 44 Films, My Year in Fassbinder. I am looking at this incredibly user-friendly UI and feeling, well, panic. It’s not friendly enough! Do I have the patience to learn it? We’ll see. Right now, the mission is vague and ill-defined, but simple: to watch every feature film directed by the great German melodramatist, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, in chronological order, within a single year. The perfect pastime for a woman of a certain age, at a crossroads, nicht wahr? Ja, wirklich! (Don’t worry, that’s pretty much the extent of my German.) So we’ll see if this damn thing actually posts. After that: Love Is Colder Than Death (1969).
