This 1975 melodrama by Rainer Werner Fassbinder is one of his better middle-period films.

It excludes all life that is not within the very narrow intentions of its author. Its pores have been painted over.

One of Fassbinder's own personal favorites, the powerful Fox and His Friends may also be the greatest gay film ever made.

Rating: 3/4 --
Here is a movie about characters who define themselves by their sexuality, but the movie doesn't. It takes the sexuality as a given, and defines them by their values and morals.

Offers the most intimate look thus far into the complex and probing psyche of [Rainer Werner Fassbinder] who, although only in his early 30s, is already making significant contributions to the art of filmmaking as an actor, writer and director.
