The movie version of Christoph Schlingensief's stageplay.
Shot with striking immediacy by a subjective camera, “Angst isst Seele auf” assumes the point of view of a black actor in Germany dealing with racist abuse as he prepares to appear in a play based on Fassbinder’s film, about the taboo relationship between an older German woman and an Arab man. Sharing the same lead actress (Brigitte Mira), cinematographer (Jürgen Jürges), and editor (Thea Eymèsz) as in Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s 1974 Film “Angst essen Seele auf”, these twin works offer a searing indictment of prejudice within German society.

The examples of large pharmaceutical companies directly influencing political decision-makers, ministries and authorities are too blatant. And thus decisions were made in favor of the industry. Paid specialists, bought-in experts, influenced politicians - independent decisions do not seem to be a matter of course in the healthcare system.

"The therapist's voice steps behind the pictures. All this takes place in a narrowly defined pictorial space, in a face, in a few square centimeters of a room wall, in the leaves of a plant, in holding the teacup. What miraculously blends together in this film: an empathic woman (the therapist), directed by an empathic woman (the director), tells an empathic cameraman about experiences with people in panic. The film is empathic and speaks at the same time of the disturbed relationship of the people to each other, to themselves and to the objects that surround them. What makes him even more exciting is the not clearly decipherable network of relationships between the three people involved in the film and the space that encloses them "(Dagmar Boarding)
