WEEK 20

20. SATANSBRATEN, dir. RAINER WERNER FASSBINDER, 1976

when a woman ascends the stairs featured two japanese actors i've realized i like a lot: tatsuya nakadai (also seen in the face of another) and ganjiro nakamura (also seen in an autumn afternoon). i love these men. also, there was something in the way this film was edited--these abrupt transitions to conversations already taking place--that i enjoyed throughout. a good film.

i will admit to mining a certain other blogger's aesthetic in selecting this week's movie, satansbraten, though i am also generally curious to see more fassbinder (and especially a fassbinder comedy). let's watch.
