________________________________________
I'm going through the annual Fassbinder phase again.
In A Year of 13 Moons is one of the Fassbinder titles I've not experienced yet. None of the video stores in my area carries this film but Borders has the DVD for sale. I'm soo tempted to buy it but I don't want to repeat the same mistake I made with Querelle (which wasted my 25 bucks).
Fassbinder is an unusual artist and not every film of his is a knockout. My favorites = Veronika Voss and Ali: Fear Eats The Soul. What catches my attention about 13 Moons is the "transvestite" (using the 70s term) and I'm very curious to see how Fassbinder handles this type of character especially he's soo good with women. Is this film in the same vein as my Fassbinder favorites?
